Well I'm getting back into mtbing so after quite a lot of research I've decided on the voodo Bantu. I went to my local halfords with the idea of getting a carrear Vulcan but the guy showed me the voodoo range and for an extra £20 I could a better front fork than the Vulcan. So wise purchase or not?

Cheers skipsey

    Have you test ridden a Bantu as it's important to know how it feels and weather it suits you size wise and if you feel comfortable with the way it handles and i'm looking forward to seeing the pic's lol .

    yeah i had a quick go once i had the seat set up etc. ive always been pretty good at getting a feel for a bike striaght away and as soon as i sat on it i new it felt 'right' if you know what i mean.

    really looking forward to the ride home tomorrow! :P
