Hi all,
I'm new to the forum but have been reading a fair few posts over the past weeks mainly to gain a bit of experience when it comes to purchasing a half decent bike (man theres alot to know!). My budget is not more than £400 and for that I want a decent entry level full susser.
I know your going to say, "spend it on a hardtail, you'll get more for your money", but my mind is made up on the full susser!!
The dilemma is this:
Do I get a 2nd hand Kona Dawg Matic (2004 hardly ridden)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KONA-DAWG-MATIC-m ... 7C294%3A50
Or a Giant Yukon FX2 (new, good price, shame about colours)
http://paulscycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b4s1p1747
Or, and you going to hate me for even suggesting this but its had some excellent reviews, Decathlon Rockrider 6.3!
http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/categ ... 3-07-20096
Is the Dawg matic still a good bike being 5 year old technology? Has the tech moved on much in my price range in that time?
Does anyone else have a bike i've overlooked or one there selling off cheaply in the South to a keen newbee
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan.
