edited May 2012 in MTB buying advice
Has anyone any experience of one of these. I'm a born again MBR with no great desire for absolute speed or throwing the bike around. I ride lumpy tracks uphill to get to not too steep downhill runs (blue ?) with the odd lumpy, steppy technical bit, also a few medium (red I suppose) drops. Do you think one of these would do the trick. Just liked the VFM, bit worried about the standover height though- they seem very high and I would like to avoid banks to personal bits. Any advice, thanks.

    sounds like you would be better off looking at the XC

    Thanks,
    Deep down that's what I was thinking. I saw an ad for an MR but went to buy another bike. That fell through, so I'm thinking again about the MR advertised. It could be an expensive mistake.

    the marathon bike is something that will be fast, but kill you if you get it wrong. euro marathon bikes are a very "ride fast, hang on for your life and fix it every week" type job. very lycra clad high saddles brigade.

    the xc would suit you better.
