29er Advice

Johnnyvee

Is there a Rockrider 8.1 equivalent in the world of 29er's that don't cost more than £500 or £600 and seems to be heads and shoulders spec wise better than the competition?

Would like to know anyone's opinion on this - there seem to be some good deals on bike-discount.de and the canyon website but I can't seem to sort the chaf from the wheat.

29ers generally are more expensive or less well specced compared to their 26er equivelant. Decathlon as a budget brand dont have a similar model - you'd be looking at Cube or similar for a 29er with a half decent spec for sensible money and then I dont think your budget is going to get you what you want.
