Hi,

I've been riding hardtail for a couple of years and fancy a move to full sus. I've got around £1K to spend, however £250 is made up from Evans vouchers so will purchase from them. Anyway, i've narrowed it down to either a Jamis Dakar Comp XC or the Norco Faze LX. I ride trail and XC - any ideas/advice?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Yep, i think i would go for the rockrider as it looks great - however already having £250 of vouchers for evans makes it hard to go anywhere else.

    Well the Rockrider is within the £750 you have left so I would take the advice above and use the vouchers for bike related items:
    Clothes, shoes, helmet, tools etc.
