200bhp
Posts: 7
I've been offered a brand new but 2005 SCHWINN MESA LT with disc brakes for £170 - I've seen the 06's going for £370ish.
I currently have a Scott Yecura which I'm happy with but is too big for me (long story)
I just want something for general trails - nothing too hard but that I can later sell on.
Is this an OK bike ?

Thanks...
But there doesn't seem much difference in spec and this is still £100 cheaper.
Not bothered about the latest stuff as long as its a good useable bike.0
