JohnyMilton Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hey dude, I read peoples comments saying buy a 'saracen' or 'mission', i highly recommand NOT getting one of them, they want last very long, I would recomend a bike but i dont know your budget, so if you could give me an idea of how much you are willing to spent, I could maybe help more, or as someone also said buying a second hand bike, now thats a good idea, you can get good bikes for cheap that way!

nafan Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 or you could buy a GOOD bike like a nice second hand bike.Would recommend this strongly - save some money and spend a good 400 on a nice 2nd hand bike...Take a peek in For Sale/Wanted section, might pick up a bargain - make sure you have enough money first though!

So know what your on about before you make judgment about things im not talking about the frmae, im talking about when you buy it standard the components are crap, the mission frame is almost the same as the T-raptor and the sarcen frames are strong but the components are weak!
