Is this the best I can get for £650?

MudPig

Hello,

Looking at getting a 2011 Giant XTC 3 for £650:

http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.p ... 1b0s2p3483

Is this the best spec / lightest bike I can get for that amount?

Weight is about 26 lbs for a large.

Is there anything better / lighter for a similar amount?

Don't mind 2011 or even 2010, just looking for a killer deal.

Thanks

Anything better or comparable?

no worries, only 2 months old with reciept for warranty etc. done 30 miles on it.

Thanks again but definitely want new.

Anyone have any other suggestions or can the Giant not be beaten for that price?

Thanks.

I can't think of anything off the peg that will beat that Giant at that price, however the Rockrider 8.1 comes close and will save you £150 you could put towards future upgrades.......Personally though I'd go with the Giant.
