Hello Mates,

I need some help, please. I got a question if You guys don't mind me asking- I've been offered to buy Giant XTC from 07 or 08 for the price of 350. Brand new, never been used. Is it a fair amount?

I'd be so grateful if you could help me out.


Cheers.

    If it is brand new then go for it. No warranty but you'd be look at 500+ for something simat these days. Not a great deal has changed.

    I know that RS Dart2 fork is crap, but the overall value fits this price range?

    The other one I wondered about is Voodoo Bokor from '11/12.

    But I need to decide real quick.

    Do you think I can get a '11/12 Bokor for round 400?

    Sorry Mate, a bit of vertigo. I got an offer only for XTC 4.5 for 350 but I also considered getting Bokor, if the price will be below 400.

    Never mind. I think I'm gonna pass on that one, as I read that XTC's r a bit stiff, and due to the fact it's 07/08 it should be round 250-300.

    For an XC bike the XTC is a good start.

    Why will the price of a Bokor be below £400? RRP is £679
