twedspeed

Hi Ive been an avid mountain biker for over 10 yeras now - Ive loved riding my full sussers ( Enduro - whyte 46 - Blur ) all over the north yorks moors, around dalby and hamsterley and all over the lake,s and up to - Kielder and Scotland (northerner innit )
But this year "2013" I,d like to try something different and am thinking about doing a bit of XC riding. and I,m asking you guys for Bike advice ? hardtails are a mystery to me ( I mean why would ya ?) Theres a nice frame on fleabay right now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KINESIS-XC-PR ... 2a27f9bfa6 but I dunno the first thing about Hard tails or XC ??? any nuggets of info or advice are welcomed and to throw a spanner in the works - 26 or 29 inch ???

IMO you have been doing XC riding. What would you call it?

See my reply on STW - basically says that ^^

If you mean racing, just give it a go with what you have.

Ah but missed the northerner bit, you obviously need an Orange 5.
