So I've had My Rockhopper Pro for going on 8 years now and I'm thinking it's time for a new one I would say, THe thing that's pushed me over the edge today is the fact that the bottom bracket has worn out yet again, yeah it's a cheap fix but theirs no harm in looking for a new one.

So I've been looking on Dales website as I'll be wanting interest free credit, The two bikes that have caught my eye so far are:-

Giant Fathom 29er 1 Mountain Bike 2017
https://www.dalescycles.com/bikes/mountain-bikes/giant-fathom-29er-1-mountain-bike-25119

and the

Cube LTD Race Mountain Bike 2017
https://www.dalescycles.com/bikes/mountain-bikes/cube-ltd-race-mountain-bike-26619

I'm edging more to the cube as it has a full XT groupset

any suggestions are welcome.
 
just messing around with, riding around the park and to work and back. I've had good use out of my Rockhopper, it's been rode nearly everyday for 8 years (in January). Yeah I could have bought a cheaper bike and I wouldn't have felt the difference but would it have lasted as long?
 
Yeah I've looked a racer/road bikes before, I just prefer the Mountain Bikes. I usually do some shopping on my way home from work and like to tie the bags to the handle bars. A racer/road bike wouldn't let me do this with stability I don't think.
