Full sus or hardtail?

oliverbinks1

Im looking to get a new bike/frame and am undecided weather to buy a better spec hardtail or a full sus frame. The riding i usually do is around my local woods, lots of uphill but also lots of trails, im looking for the good/bad points of both.

Thanks
Oliver.

What is your budget?

For a full hardtail around 400 i have found a nice boardman, but for just a frame around 300 tops.

Stick with a hardtail at this price. Voodoo Bantu is about as good as it gets.

what about a 2013 boardman comp?

Not sure what you're trying to do. If you want a FS frame then you must have a doner for it? Presumably a ht? Which if that is the case then it must be better than a Bantu to warrant it?
