ive been considering the scott ransom and specialized enduro for all mountain duties (among so many others from orange, marin etc- there is so much choice)
all v expensive bikes, but its come to my attention i can get heavily discounted bikes from marida (poss 30-50%). their one-five-o comes in at a lower price point anyway but it could be a real snip, and we all love a bargain.
dont know the exact price yet, but what are your opinions on this bike? is it in the same league? im going to try any track one down to have a look at tomorrow.
thanks

Never heard of marida do you mean Merida
and you do not mention and bike."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

sorry about the spelling
as above its the one-five-o seems to be their all mountain. the carbon 100mm Ninety-six bike seems to get some good write ups, but not found much on the others.

good bike."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Some good spec there, not sure about magura brakes though, i've never liked them too much0

never had a problem with Maguras (apart from my 1999 Clara's)
That bike is frigging awesome - top spec on it.
If you can get a test/and discount I would go for it!!!0 -
fantastic bike. ride one similar on a demo day in new zealand
if they wernt so expensive id have got one.
i can only afford things with over 50% off0 -
cheers for the rapid feedback.
as its got a good reaction ill def. l be looking into it. as id be able to get some money off there may well be some headroom for upgrading some of the components. plus christmas is just round the corner.
