Got a friend looking at dh/freeride bikes.
Looking on leisure lakes as thats the main local shop, does 0% finance which is the most important thing.
Big hit's seem to be popular "budget" dh bikes but are there any others?
Budget of probably £1800 on 0% Finance. going to morzine next summer. usually riding local woods, forest of dean, cwmcarn, aston hill.
any help?
