Which one to buy?

mumbojumbo

Hi All

I've been out the game for a few years but it's time to get back into it. My last bike was a Specialized FSR Comp which did me well and I was very happy with it. I see though the price of full suspension bikes has really shot up and I've not got a couple of grand to spare, probably about half that, maybe a little more.

Anyway I've looked around at Cube and Canyon mainly but their still out my price bracket for a nice spec. I have found two Ghost bikes on Chainreaction which are massively reduced and don't have bad write ups at all. I'm just not sure which to go for, they seem pretty much the same to me except for one is XT and SLX and the other is Sram.

Which would you recommend?

I also get the VAT off these which brings them down to just over a grand, which is perfect.

Cheers for any help

I think the black and yellow one looks better but I prefer shimano to sram so that might sway me towards the other one. No info on geometry so theres not much info to base a decision on.

Very good value for a grand - is hard to split them. Obviously one gets more carbon, but I prefer the Shimano set up as is more reliable.

Cheers guys I think you've both just made my mind up, I should have really asked Shimano or Sram! lol
