Been off bike for a while and looking to get back into it, mainly local trails etc etc

Always fancied a malt due to the price and spec.

however, unable to find any reviews of the malt 29er, can anyone point in right direction or have any experiance of the bike itself

have ridden acid 29er previously and got on well with it, so umming and ahhing between the Malt and a Cube LTD

Know i can swing my leg over the cube and get on with it, but was alway a lil nervouse over the back wheel clearance on the cube.

Feel free to help me ponder but would really appreciate any advice on the Malt, cheers

    I tested a 19inch Merlin 29er at the shop and there was very little top tube room even though I am 6 foot. I like at least 2 inches of ballroom.

    From what I can remember there was none though I was wearing jeans so there might have been a bit when wearing cycling shorts.
