Which bike? Cannondale/Pinnacle/Specialized

Freed84

Hi guys,
Just looking for some advice before purchasing a new bike...I have a budget of around £400 and have spent the week searching for bikes in this price range. I've narrowed it down to 3 but could do with some help deciding which would be best or does anybody have any alternatives?

Cannondale Trail SL 5

Pinnacle Peak 3.0

Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc 2010

Thanks for your help!

Out of those, the best value and specced is the Pinnacle, by a long way. If you can visit a shop and try them out it would be beneficial.

Also try Halfords for the Carrera Kraken.

I take it the bike is for general trails and XC.

Thanks for such a quick reply!

I was swayed towards the Pinnacle as I can get to the shop easily and return it if I have any problems, what are they like though as I can't seem to find any reviews?

Tried to stear clear of Halfords as I can;t stand the poor level of customer service you get!!

Some branches of Evans are far worse than some branches of Halfords! Really does depend on the store and the staff. But I'd certainly visit and take a look at the bike.
