edited December 2009 in MTB buying advice
I am looking at getting an 09 full susser. I am looking at online shops and larger bikes seem to be getting in short supply. Are further reductions on 09 models likely after xmas?? Am I just gettin paranoid about stocks running low?

    Pauls Cycles tends to have more large sizes than anything else.

    Certini (Saltash) have both 2009 Specialized and Cannondale bikes with a good discount at present :wink:

    Thanks. Will check Pauls and ring Certini.

    Are they likely to further reduce 09 bikes after xmas?

    Great deal on a Focus full suss from the home page.... if you want an XC bike.

    Here's the link on Wiggle...

    Cool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

    Thanks for all the advise. Good deal on the Focus, not overly keen on the look of it though.

    Anyway, I just reserved an 09 Specialised Stumpy comp. from Certini for £1399. Bargain??

    I'm tempted to get a '09 Trek Fuel Ex8, but would rather wait a few weeks to see if the price drops in Jan, but if they sell out then so be it.

    I've got a budget in mind but don't want to get in the scenario of if I spend another £200 I can get this, and then for another £100 on top I can get that etc.
    I no longer own a Kona so the name is somewhat misleading.

    I feel that! My start budget was £1000, was going to go secondhand but decided against that, so my budget crept up and up!!
