Hi all!!

Looking at getting a new bike after I have finished uni.

I have taken a likening to the specialised hardrock pro.disc. 2011.

Is there anything else out there with equal or better spec for the price

Cheers

    Lots! But what price? as it's last years model it should be being discounted by now.

    Rockrider 8.1 beats it hands down.

    P.S. Specialized, not ised
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    500ish mate around that price!

    Prefer a hardtail

    The Rockrider 8.1 (hardtail - no-one would suggest an FS at that budget unless the discounting was HUGE) is the 'go to' bike for a £500 budget, much better forks than the Spesh, better most other components as well.

    RR's are only available from Decathlon stores, second best is the Voodoo Hoodoo from Halfords.
