Hey everyone, im on the lookout for a new mountain bike, looking at spending £400-500.
I used to have a Marin cant remember what model which was an excellent good quality bike. Havent done any biking since i came off a few years ago and broke both of my arms lol so i dont know nothing about what makes a good etc etc.
I want a bike for general cross county trail tracks etc front suspension a must not sure if i need rear suspension?
This one has caught my eye for £500
