Hello

My current bike (Edinburgh bike coop, triad 3) is getting a bit worn out (drive train needs replaced, fork needs serviced,….) and the rear tyre clearance is pants. As it was only £475 quid new I am reluctant to spend a lot of money replacing all the bits when I could put my money towards a shiny new bike :D !

I am willing to spend up to £1300, and have been thinking a that a good hardtail is going to be better than a entry level full suss ( :?: ). Can’t be an own brand as I am going to get it on bike to work through Cycle Scheme (so Boardman’s and the like are out).

I like the look of the Genesis Core 50, any experience of riding one of these? Any other suggestions?

Cheers
Stew
