Another vote for Smudge @Mtb batteries, impressed with the light and very impressed with the service.

Thanks for the reminder, forgot all about it.

Leisure lakes take halfords vouchers if thats any help.

My votes are for the SDG bel air or WTB rocket v, had both and found them both comfy.

Santa cruz chameleon?

Sounds like a perfect excuse to buy a cheap second hand frame and build up a bling pub bike to me.

Thanks,
Now what is this ‘google’ you speak of?

Unfotunately there are sometimes issues with the stock levels in that the web says they have stock but the store doesn’t. You shouldn’t of been sent confirmation unless they had picked the order for you though. On a lighter note though nice to hear roulercoaster I used to work at the preston store, glad everything went well for you

Mark at Mtbbatteries, sent him an email at 11.15 last night (Sunday), not expecting a reply until sometime today, he replied in 10 mins. Pretty impressed with that

Very impressed with mine, feel so much better than my old formulas. Just about to chop the hoses down a bit.

Thanks again, I will have a think and have a look on rose bikes too.

Ha ha, thanks for the replies, they’re both going for around £45 at merlin so no difference in the price, xt still the best of the 2?

2012 rebas are going cheap at merlin, I’ve just bought the 15mm maxle ones for around £290 with the vip discount

cheers, day off tomorrow so think i’ll pop in

Blimey that was a fast reply, thought as much but wanted some confirmation.
Cheers.

+1 for Hewitts

Being scared of riding steps.

Agree with turnerguy, plus they are going down to £650 soon iirc

Thanks again for the replies, i was a bit dubious about using this forum after reading some of the comments on other forums, but i like it you seem like a nice helpfull and friendly bunch, i’ve decided to go with an inbred as its cheap enough for me not to be too worried if i dont get on with it, and i’m just about to put my order in 😀

Thanks for the replies, I get what some of you are saying about riding position, but I’ve decided on getting a new frame ad my current bike is quite big and really doesn’t give me much confidence on technical sections so i’m wanting something a bit smaller and chuckable, my budget will be around £300 and I would like something that will be fine with 100mm travel forks as that is what will be going on it until I can afford to upgrade the forks

Mate, the best bike in the world is the one thats in your house/garage/shed, because its your bike and you can ride it whenever you want, you said you took it round cannock and it was good so dont worry what other people think of it, just upgrade bits as and when you see fit/things break, and get out and enjoy yourself
