Iron Horse MKIII Elite 2008

Eskimo427

My local bike shop (Alpine Bikes) is selling these for £1725 instead of the RRP £2500. I've tried searching the internet and I cannot find any good reviews for this bike.

Can anyone tell me how good or bad this bike is or suggest an alternative?

Apart from the discounted price, the weight and spec attracted me. My commute to work is 16 miles each way, I will also be doing a few 24hr rides on it, Moutain Mayhem and Relentless 24. For the money and spec I can't find a better bike.

Thanks.

Don't know about the bike, but here a few alternates!

Altough i don't know much on the overall of 24hr racing, i'd presume you'd want to get something more like a hardtail, look up specialized and focus they have brilliant bikes for endurance type racing

thanks for the reply Zaris.

I should have said in my first post I competed in Relentless last year as a solo entry on a GT Avalanche Expert 2007. I managed 10 laps which I was quite please about considering I'd never done anything like that before.

The bike I'm looking for will also be used for general riding and taking to places like Glentress so I'm after an all round bike, however after posting on here about a bike I had in mind, my mind was changed and I'm now looking elsewhere.

Thanks.

They don't seem to get a bad review, a good all rounder.

I can't find a review to show you, but I've heard great things about these bikes and with the DW-Link you can't go wrong!
