Thanks for the replies, I'm in no rush, the Rose still does its job, albeit not quite as well as it used to, and to be fair, the only thing it's had in 6yrs is tyres and lube!

I've just been on and specced up an Aether the way I'd like it, £2899 with full XT, just got to wait until October at the earliest!
I haven't even looked at Rose, sacrilege...

Stupidly cheap. There's a 29er carbon out soon, which I think I'll end up buying.
Ah FFS. I had an inkling my pre-order might go wrong. Whyte cannot fulfil all their orders and I am unable to get it till about November. I've now asked about the 909 and should hear back tomorrow. Did not want to spend that much but not much I can do. Pfft. Better colour though,

What size you going for and what height are you?
Had anyone had any dealings with Bergamont bikes? Spotted a nice one with £1300 knocked off, very tempted - https://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/b...cMfHaEHLiieSeP6YJYmvPo3j_JX86208aAjfLEALw_wcB

nasty m8 - hope it recovers well. In some respects, it might not have been good to get those arms out either, as that's the typical collarbone snapper.

Pinkbike buy/sell
Late as the post is a month old now but I've had the Bergamont 2018 Revox 7 hardtail since Jan 2018, was only around £500 in sale, was originally around £900. Some images posted in this topic at post #6359.
German made and seem to spec well in terms of components for the pricing. Been more than happy with mine especially for the price, averaged about 40 miles a week on it since, only had to replace a couple of inner tubes recently from stem punctures since then, everything else still working great. Even the disc brakes haven't diminished, though I might replace pads soon. Just been keeping chain and cogs oiled and tyres pumped, works really well still. Much lower end than what you're looking at, but I imagine the quality will be even better on the higher range.
trying to get into mountain biking with a budget of £400Thanks for the reply, better late than never!
I didn't go for it in the end, I've fitted a new drivetrain to my Rose for now and it feels almost new again.
Going to get all the bearings replaced and the fork and shock serviced, then hopefully enjoy riding it again for a few years before taking the plunge on a new one.

While its not the fanciest bike out there, its so much comfier than my last one!
Looks smart. I’m after a new Hardtail this year or next as upgrade to my Marin Bobcat. Decided I want to go back to a Hardtail does all instead of cheap Hardtail for winter and full bounce from March till October. Sold the full bounce today.

No Hardtails in stock that I like.

Morning all. Still waiting for a new bike, got deposits down now for a Whyte 905 or an Orbea Laufey. Or whatever else comes up, but am resigned to the fact it may well be some time.
Anyway, I have a Boardman Team 29 from around 2017. I need a new cassette but am getting confused as I cannot work out whether I have an XD or splined driver. How can I tell?

Is it shimano or Sram?
Sram is nearly always XD, espically if it has below a 11t. I think the NX or SX had the Shimano type on it? Easy to tell as the Shimano type can't go below 11t.
My Aeris was what I had at BPW that day with you. Sold it a few weeks back so been using the Shan (pic above) since. Used to only use the Shan midweek generally but it's such a capable bike for a hard tail. Had it about 2 years now and I don't give it the love it deserves... Keeps up with and faster than full sus on the same trails hence me selling the Aeris.
I'm torn between a Jeffsy and Capra! Unsure if the Capra is too much bike for a do-it-all bike.
