    well it does depend on who you listen to.

    SS's tends to be OK.

    I bought a Reebok M-Byte about a year and a half from JJB sport, its starting to fall apart. So about to upgrade to a Orange G2 as my second choice now I have the bug. I want to start stepping it up a bit.

    To be honest I got the M-Byte for £90 and it had front disk brakes and curved chassis, looks ok but starting to go a bit. The front gears have seized and starting to rust even though I keep it inside.

    Any other suggestions?

    About £650. I'm getting it through work so might go for the G3 instead.

    Any suggestions? Also looking at Giant XTC 3 or Specialised Rockhopper Comp.
