Hi,
I won some vouchers for jjb sports so i decided I want to buy a mtb, the local store only has Muddy Fox bikes, I can't find any review of them online so was wondering if anyone could comment on the two I am considering.
I realise a lot of people will possibly recommend other bikes, but i'm choosing these as that's what the store stocks If these are both rubbish I won't even waste the free money i won, but that will likely mean i won't get a bike right now as i don't have extra spare cash to go to another shop.
I was erring on the side of the first one as i will be doing a mixture of riding and may use it for getting about town as well as a bit of cross country/downhill?
Thanks,

sorry, i should also mention that both the prices i mentioned include £100 off as they are in a sale.
Saying that, from what i've read elsewhere even 400 would be too little to spend on a full suspension which is also one of the reasons i was leaning towards the first one listed.0 -
Its seems good on paper, but has done the old trick of speccing parts that MF thinks beginners want to see - 9spd and hydro discs. Dont get me wrong, thats good, but not at the expense of a good fork, and this one is crap. You want to be looking at a damped fork for this money.0

cheers for that, i might wait and see if they get anything better in.
and also read up more on forks!0
