I need to buy a new mountain bike..for around £500-550. I want it to be good as possible..i dont mind buying it in parts, if need be. If you can..as its local to be have a look at www.pearsoncycles.co.uk because its 5 mins away hehe.

I love the specialized bikes..also not only that, i know people who have specialized..and they are amazing bikes.. Btw how good is the Trek Bruiser 2? And also how much you recon the Giant AC1 (full bike) is?

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 18:52

I just liked the AC1 frame haha

... the bruiser 2 is too jumpy for me. Im thinking about the Specialized

Any other good links?

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:03

Im thinking about the GT Avalance 1.0 what you guys think? or what other bikes?

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:11

you ever used evanscycles you lot?

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:13

ok i might have to pay the extra £70 and buy it locally then?

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:24

I can take it away locally, the day i pay...and ive never ordered from Evans...so i dont know if i trust it or not ..

syke · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:35

What would you recommend for upto around £450? I think the Hardrock Sport or the Avalanche 1.0 is the best .. but im not good with bike specs
