Voodoo Hoodoo, not quite as well specced as the RR but a less XC more trail ride, or look out for a Boardman on offer.
Also check pauls cycles sell off, sometimes some GREAT bargains!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Go second hand if you can, some bargains about if you can find one.Somedays you're the pigeon, Somedays you're the statue.0

The canyon is the better specced of those 3. It's got a better fork and components.
The Giant is next, still managing a 30sp deore group, although the fork is not as good as the Canyon, and it's missing nice little extras like the SLX shifters.0 -

You mean Poploc?
It's a tough one to call. "shiftable lockout" could mean that, or it could just mean the lever on the fork. Hard to tell from that. Might be worth emailing them if it's a deal breaker (although it's worth noting you can pick up a brand new poploc for c. £30)0 -
On the photo you linked to on your other thread it doesn't show a poploc. You can reach the lockout easily though.0

ok cheers all, I sent canyon an email to confer. One final comparrison if you dont mind.
http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.p ... 1b0s2p3484 vs the canyon spec wise? Dose it warrant the increase in price all being £100 more than the canyon?0 -
How many threads do you want?0
