Been looking around and spotted a Giant yukon disc 2010 model for £299 delivered (usually £370)

Was watching a used giant yukon disc (not 2010 model) go on fleabay for £265 so figured it good value (£300 is my absolute max so dont start showing carrera krakens!) Will be using it for some light MTB'ing initially

    Looks like a decent bike for £300.

    If your absolute budget limit is £300 I think you could do a lot worse.

    As always the bike needs to fit, not sure if you can get to a local giant dealer to try for size before buying. Your local dealer may even match the deal if you print it off and take it along. If they won't match or come close then you have given them the chance and you can then buy online.
