Anyone know where I can get this bike in the UK for a decent price? I live in Leicestershire. I've seen it on merlin cycles but only in pink and the 24" in green.
Thanks,

Jim

    TBH, I didn't even know they did it in a 26", *most* jumpbikes are 24", but not all.

    Is this what you're looking for?

    IIRC the max max comes in 24", 26", short or long varieties.

    There are quite a few 26" wheels DJ bikes, think all 4 in MBUK were 26"ers

    Yeh that's the one but not at that price unfortunately. It's expensive because it is the 2010 one. Anyone know where I can get the 2009 one for a decent price in orange?

    think 09's were different colours

    The 2009 Absolut Max Max only came in pink AFAIK. The 09 Absolut Cr-Mo on the other hand came in orange, but that's a far more expensive bike. So you can go pink or pay more...

    Going slightly OT, has anybody else noticed this is a common ploy by manufacturers when releasing new model year bikes? The colourway on the higher end bike in a range tends to be given to a lower end model. There's always a few rubes who will go "Oh no my Trek Fuel Ex8 looks like the new Ex6. Time to upgrade!"

    The 09 MaxMax did indeed come in Flo Orange and Fuscia Pink, both same spec frames and components.
    Merlin sold both up unitl recently. I'd imagine the orange will be hard to find now, being end of line and infinitely preferable to the hideous pink one.
    Less internal organs, same supertwisted great taste.
