Hi

Currently have a Specialized Myka hardtail (i would say low spec)looking to upgrade to full suspension, unfortunately don't have too much money to play around with - so what would be the best one to get for under £1,200. Im a girl but quite tall (175cm) have recently sat on some specialized 17.5 frames (male) which are a nice fit, my specialized is a womens specific but feel it wasn't long enough. im afraid thats as technical as I can get :) any advice is very welcome. Thank you

    Don't limit yourself just to female bikes, often a male bike will fit - though you may want to swap the saddle!

    What else do your local shops offer?

    Locally there aren't really many bike shops. Specialized is what im leaning to the most at the moment either HT rockhopper 2011 or FS camber 2011 or Giant trance x4 2011 (as they had good reviews in the mbr) I think a man bike is the way forward for me though rather than a womens specific
