Hi there every one

Right here we go, I am 52 years old and 6ft 6in tall and I have a Carrera Vengeance LTD Edition on a large frame in mint condition, it has never been off road. I have got to a fitness level where I want to go off road riding now, nothing to serious but just enough to challenge me. Do I sell the Carrera and put 250.00 pounds to the money I get for the Carrera (hopefully 200 pounds) This will give me 450 pounds all in to up grade to another hard tail bike or do I spend the 250 and upgrade the Carrera forks. Answers please on a post card :D .

    You don't need £250 to upgrade the forks ;) have a look round on this forum and search for carrera upgrades as some of the threads already on here have a fair amount of info on carrera upgrades ;)

    Decent forks for £150ish and spend the rest on blow and hookers.

    Or in your, case, being old, viagra and hookers.





    ps welcome, we need more maturity on here to balance out the childish comments made by most of the kiddies.

    Consider going second hand. If you had £450 to play with you could get something which retails for close to a grand.
