Thinking of buying this bike to replace the VooDoo Hoodoo Mountain Bike i have just had stolen. Have about £500 to spend. Should i just stick with what i had or is the Commencal Premier HD 1 Mens Hardtail Bike worth getting at that price is the spec any better or is it the same as the
voodoo hoodoo. £529
