Which of these three budgets MTBs?

rumbataz

I spent a good couple of hours in my local Halfords today and have decided to by a mountain bike rather than a road or hybrid bike.

I've upped my budget a bit and, due to the very small frame size I require (16"), I have narrowed the choice down to these three:

- Carrera Kraken Mountain Bike 2011/2012 - Small 16" - £479.99
- VooDoo Bantu Mountain Bike 2011/2012 - 16" - £499.99
- VooDoo Hoodoo Mountain Bike 2011/2012 - 16" - £599.99

The Hoodoo is the very upper end of my budget. The other two are well within my budget.

Which one would you go for?

No, unfortunately not. I tried selecting the nearest store for online ordering and the Small size of that bike was not available.

You can get better bikes for the money if you can look around however out of the 3 you listed id go with the Kraken.
Great starter bike, the lightest of the 3 and well upgradeable if you wish to do so in the future.

You'l find quite a few of us started out on Krakens and iv'e only ever heard positive feedback.

Keep us posted and don't forget to post pic in the 'show your mountain bike' thread.

True my apologies. Spec is still vague though.
