nice frame, I have one, but its the same frame (apart from some slightly different angles) to the Higher spec B-17 and the top spec Rocky Ridge, so there's no point in him getting one! lol

:idea:

For how long a fork?

robbierobrob · February 2008

130, possible a bit more

Kinesis Pha5e? Or a Maxlight XC120

i've looked at the pha5e, i really like, but i cant stretch my budget that far. i am willing to go second hand, got at most 200 pounds for a frame.

dmr switchback any good?!!?!

maximilian · February 2008

wouldn't really class a switch back as Hardcore XC/ FR, bit fragile for that i would say.

The Saracen zen 2 - awesome - direct competitor to the b17.

Marin & Saracen pretty much invented the concept of agressive xc bikes, saracen with the zen series and marin with b17/rockyridge.

Orange crush - 150mm travel?
Cove stifee
Dmr exalt

Steel or alu frame?

grantway · March 2008

Na dont need the Crush go and try the Orange 5 AM
What i have

Or the Orange 5 Pro

These are hard hitting trail bikes that weigh from 28lbs

Both can be used as true allrounders

go second hand!

As long as you know what you want and don't mind waiting a couple of months.

I got an unused Kona Stuff for £320, a Marin Rocky Ridge that had been ridden twice, for £500, and my dad found a Marin Eldridge grade a few months old for £510.

give the bike a good checking over before you actually buy it. Try http://www.bikemagic.com/classifieds/se ... il&sp=&v=1
