kevob Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 you cant go wrong with a gt avalanche expert i picked one up for £300 on ebay (made him an offer before the end) top condition and rides realy well, only thing i wasnt happy with as the fork so i put a rockshox revelation on it (£55 of ebay) and ive got a top bike ive had a £3k full carbon in the past but it was no better than this one for the fun factor ebay for the bargins singletrack for the going rate Quote
Ally Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 ebay's great as long as you find out what things are worth before bidding on them. deals to be had but you can also get easily ripped off if you don't know what you're looking at. Quote
sharpey1 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Posted November 22, 2008 thanks ally and kevob l go on ebay but get out bid at the last minute I have got a budget of about £300 and not bothered about suspension a rigid frame and forks will do me in fact I would prefer a full rigid stu Quote
nibbleit Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 also take a look at Bikeradar, Bikemagic, UKMB and UK-MTB Quote
Ally Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 you could probably pick up a decent fully rigid new for £300, especially in january sales which a lot of people have. massive money off 08 gear, Quote
kevob Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 paulscycles.co.uk sell a lot of cheap previous years bikes, i think they buy them in at the end of the year Quote
sharpey1 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Posted November 22, 2008 I would like something quite nice I am finding that £300 doesn't go very far when you're buying new . Is there any one out there that is thinking of selling their pride and joy ?? Quote
sharpey1 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Posted November 22, 2008 l can get a marin palisades trail 05 for about £200-230 is this a good price and is the bike any good Quote
kevob Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 l can get a marin palisades trail 05 for about £200-230 is this a good price and is the bike any good its pretty much entry level but good enough and a bargin at that price Quote
sharpey1 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Posted November 22, 2008 how much would it cost for a half decent pair of rigid forks Quote
