    I had a similiar decision to make. I looked at the GT Chucka and Kona Shred (both in your price range).

    I choose to go for the Kona. Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3 forks, quality frame and decent cable operated disc breaks. It also has 16 gears so you can ride cross country or around the street, however extended periods of cross country riding would no doubt make you ache a bit. I find my bike excellent and would definately recommend one.

    I managed to get the 2008 model in a local Halfords, so you may find one there or online.

    so the topic heading has nothing to do with a DMR Reptoid!

    topic heading changed.
