Hi All
Im Gareth and i live not far from the Malvern hills in a small town. Im new to MTB well i say new i have had a few over the years, ut in the last year i have been doing more extreme if you can call it that MTB. i currently have a GT aggressor XC3 2009 so its a few years old now and im looking to upgrade it i have a budget of around £750 don't have to spend all this as i can get some new kit with what's left or i can spend it all on a bike and upgrade kit later next year.
so just after some ideas on a good make bike that i can use on te road, around the Malvern hills, and the forest of dean etc ?

Hi Yea it was at the time0

If you want to upgrade I'd get new forks and wheels, something like a RockShox Reba and Superstar wheel set. Also new tyres.0
-
na im looking at a complete upgrade really as frame is not in best condition now0
-
Then a new bike is the best bet.0

Hey. I am also a new rider From small village not far from Malvern Hills, yet to venture up the big buggers yet though.
Have you spoken to the guys at BackOnTrack bikes? They are a bike shop up by the clock tower and friends of mine have recommended them to me. They sell both new and second hand bikes and might be worth a chat with.0 -
No not been there but will go take a look for sure0

Not great. Look at Decathlon or Halfords.

Poor for the money. Take a look at the Boardman Comp.0

C'mon Gaz, link another bike from Tredz, ignoring what the others have said.
Try something like this, for £530 its very good value -
