Am on the lookout for a second-hand full suspension bike for £500-£750.
I've narrowed down a few bikes that interest me. Just wanted your thought on them and which you'd go for.
Am planning on getting a cheap Hard tail for light trails and road use so want a full suspension for technical rides. Something that i can take to Spain/Austria/Alps. Needs to be able to ride for 20+ miles, Climb and descent (although not DH racing)
All these bikes would be 08> models and weigh around 12-13kg. Just wondering on that travel mm i should get. Is 120mm going to be enough or shall i only look for 140mm travel. Giant Anthem 100mm too low ?
I quite like the Stumpjumper FSR and Boardman bikes.
I have till next summer to get something.
Why have you not added the C'dale Prophet to your list?
Why have you narrowed your choice down to those? £750 is a pretty limited budget, just buy whatever has the best spec for the price.
100mm too low for big stuff on the continent - 120-140mm would be better.
