Hi All, I'm after opinions on the positives/negatives of these two bikes - Voodoo Bizango 17 and Genesis Tarn 10 16. Different I know but thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance

I've no experience of the genesis, but the voodoo is great. (Caveat - I used to work at Halfords)

We had no issues with them from a quality point of view. Components are good and all usable from the start. Fork works well, but it's heavy (2.6kg) and benefits from regular lower leg servicing - you only need a 5mm allan key.

Wheels are reliable, but not the lightest and worth upgrading.

The frame is an absolute peach though.

Overall, a total bargain and remember the 10% discount for British cycling membership.
