Hi guys

if you had £1000 to spend on a general purpose trail bike what would you get? choices would include last years models in the sales.

thanks

you wont find a better bike for the price in my opinion, i spent months demoing all the different 5" bikes, trek ex, marin east peaks, bfore finally deciding to get the trance x, and im delighted with it, its great fun and easy to pedal, and so far not breakages, which is what i want... you could also check out the new trance x5, same frame, but worse spec (giant own brand shock)for the same money http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/114075.html

thanks for the heads up, the trance x and prophet were the 2 main contenders i was considering until i found the Dale rize 5 08 for £1000 - i think it looks so damn sexy! i know it only has budget tora 302's but can get good upgrade in a few months for £250 if i look around.
