Ta, josh. I'd go for a Specialized, pref a rockhopper if you can get one in your price range. Worth having a look on ebay for one, wish I'd kept mine now, was a quality bike!

J.KYDD Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Personally at this price i'd go second hand. I work at Halfords and yes, the Boardmans are awesome for the cash. But check the likes of Pinkbike and Southern Downhill for second hand rigs first, youd be supprised what you can find for the money. But, if your going new - Boardman bikes all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy my Rockhopper Pro 2009, selling it end of June for £450. Not even a year old. No wear on the drivetrain. Mint condition. Better spec than that boardman, a lot lighter, about 25pounds. Reba SL fork, Xt mech. Rides amazing. 21" though so if your short, it won't be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 The Marin hardtail range is awesome. All the frames in their 'Trail Hardtail' range are the same geometry (and maybe even the same frame just different colours and logos), its just the quality of the parts they use that is the difference between the prices. I used to have a Rocky Ridge and it was an amazing bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
