Full suspension for £1000 suggestions

Antdawe

I have a max limit of £1000 and HAVE to purchase from wheelies.co.uk


I want a full suspension mtb. There are soo many I'd be greatly for some good examples on there for this price.

Thanks

What sort of usage? XC, downhill, jumps, allrounder?

I can only find this

which ain't much kop...post links to others.....

An all rounder really. I have a hardtail now which doesn't quite cut it on the more off track routes

supersonic

As above, that is the only bike they have at that price.

Kind of sucks really. Last month they were selling the 2011 specialized fsr camber off for £999. Potty I weren't eligible for my renewal then and they won't allow me to top up over the £1000. What about a hard tail. Could I get a decent one for that as mine is coming to the end of its life.

supersonic

Not much choice there either I am afraid. This looks ok though:

You probably can...however if you read the OP he is tied into Wheelies...

apjs87

Ahh yes I see. Well can wheelies to a price promise? Could always shop around for a bike he likes on here and see if he can save money that way

Is this a bike to work tie in or something?

If so, shop around, or look for nearly new / ex-demo stuff, and might find other deals elsewhere that have as much of a saving as you'd have got through the scheme, and if you aren't going through the scheme you can spend more but potentially get better value for money.

DK speaks sense, no point in getting an expensive sub standard bike when you can get a bargain good one elsewhere.

It's probably an insurance replacement as some insurers use them..if so they should replace like for like so they should order in.

You can get a Merida One Twenty 300D for £1000, I had one and liked it.
