What bike would you choose?

Hi,

I'm trying to get hold of a good second hand bike, can't spend more than around £300-350 though.

So far I've found these:

Kona Hoss - £250

Scott Voltage - £320
http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/971505/

Specialized Myka Elite Edition - £250

Specialized Rockhopper SL Comp 2010 - £350

Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc 2011 - £180
http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/speci ... 1/93090032


I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to bikes, any advice greatly appreciated!

Are you a burd?

You know the Myka is a womans bike right?

No size or spec stated for the Hoss
No size stated for the Rockhopper
Myka is down as being 17" (and is a womans bike)
Voltage down as Medium and
Hardrock is down as being Large.

What size are you looking for?
Also, what sort of riding are you looking to do? Voltage and Rockhopper are VERY different bikes.

Rockhopper looks ok, but there are better bikes out there for less money.

What do you want to ride? Hoss and Voltage are more freeride/chunky/jump, Myka is womans spec, Rockhopper is a decent bike,Hardrock has lousy spec.
