trials owns Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) hi there, my brother is looking into getting a hardtail bike so we can go for bike rides around the country lanes, so basically what is the best hardtail bike for 400 or under brand new? its must be decent spec, reliable and a bonus if there was hydrualic brake. cheers Edited October 19, 2010 by trials owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashbanggg Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I had http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/barracuda-colt-arctic-white-mountain-bike-id52706.html which did me really well + you'd have a lot of spare cash for upgrading the forks which were a bit naff however they did me fine doing various tracks around the peak district, I wouldn't have upgraded but I got offered a very nice bike incredibly cheaply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they will considering that Edwardes, mainly specialize in road bikes, mountain bikes, and bmx's, and the Yaabaa steed was on special order which the customer decided he didn't want so yeah, Edwardes have been trying to shift it for about a year now. As i know the guys there, i can try a haggle the price down a bit further. ill find out tomorrow. As for a Hardtail steed, i would have suggested Winstanleys bikes, but ive heard some stories about them recently messing people about.

Ben John - Hynes Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'm so confused as to what you're after.. A hard TAIL bike is a MTB with a rigid frame. I presume that's what you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) really i thought it was hard trials i no absolutely nothing in this region, well basically after a rigid frame with front suspension with gears something along those lines doesnt have to be to specific. yeah just googled it its a hard tail im after :$ now i know what monkeyseemoneydo was after i thought he was pissing around .
