WTF? That couldn't be a more different bike! You could also get a second hand car.

The Decathlon is clearly being dragged down by the fact it has the 'wrong' sized wheels, but if you want a 26" wheeled carbon XC hardtail, with a double, that is indeed storming value!

That's an £800 fork, coupled to a £1,500 groupset, with a carbon frame. Not bad!

But yes... who wants it. Groupset may be desirable to someone I guess!

Gosh, you are funny hora.

I'm sure it would look better in the metal than the picture blobby, and Rise 60's must be the most fashionable unfashionable wheels around!

EDIT: Njee, you left out the £700+ wheelset and carbon/titanium finishing kit - bike weight is 8kg!

That build would be snapped up in Europe

I didn't even notice that, rather assumed it would have shitty wheels. That's insane then, from a pure 'spreadsheet value'!

26" wheels, are they INSANE ?

Whilst it is indeed cheap, would anyone buying an XL sized bike really want a fork with 28mm Stanchions?

Brilliant. 100mm XC hardtail compared to a 160mm Enduro Mince Machine 🙂

Gosh, you are funny hora.

Some **** that I've never met or remember meeting in my life called me a **** on facebook yesterday as I made a joke about what restaurants can you take a dog into and I replied Korean?

Anyway- I'd recommend anything over the bike linked. Nowt wrong with a 2k enduro bike that most certainly IS cheap compared to alot out there...

:mrgreen:
