Well I've narrowed it down to the bikes below, I'm going to pop down to the shop at the beginning of the week for a look but can anyone give me opinions about the bikes below?

Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo 2008
Trek 6500 Disc
Cannondale F4 2008
Cannondale F5 Disc 2008
Gary Fisher Marlin Disc 2008

Thanks

Chris

  • Have found out now that I can use a wider range of shops, I had a Giant and really enjoyed it before, would I be better going for a Giant again, perhaps another of the XTC range?

    I also have the option of Kona is there a good Kona in the £500-£600 price range?
    and would it be better or worse than a Trek?

    From those on the first list I'll would probably go for
    Trek 6500 Disc or Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo.

    About Cannondale F4: did you realy thought of that bike, with that fork on it? :lol:.

    There's nothing wrong with a Headshok fork! It may not offer as much travel as most regular forks, but it's definitely not laughable.
    To the OP, test as many as you can!
