Hello

Just started uni and really getting into XC

I purchased a Hardrock 3 years ago and have since then picked up another Hardrock for £3 and a 2000 Rockhopper for £10.

My plan is to sell these off and with a bit of money I have saved up, buy a second hand Bike

I have looked on Ebay and can get a Rockhopper (2007) or 2008 if I stump up a bit more cash, or I have been told to look at Felt bikes.

I know that a 2008 rockhopper is better than 2007, but by how much!? will I really notic it?

also, will a felt be cheaper becuse it is a less well known make?

any other bikes you would sugest I look at?

Any help would be fantastic

I think the felt would be the Q720

I wouldn't bother with the Felt, they are not very good value at all - the Rockhopper is far better.

There is not much in the 07 and 08 Rockhopper except the V version doesn't have disc mounts.
