That's not going to make a very good commuter. At all.
It's a rather hefty freeride bike, not something I'd want to pedal up too many hills.

Well, wouldn't be commenting every day to work, still want to be a lazy g!t, most of all need a good trail blazer. And gather this is more of a down hiller, but what's your thoughts on Cube frittz? Or sting 29er

cooldad

What sort of trails?

The Rookie

If you want a 'big' bike' then why not get a cheap commuting hack, you can pick up something reasonable used for circa £150 and then have something suitable, cycling (nearly) every day is a great way to get fit faster for the weekend rides you then enjoy more!

Hi also new here,
Just got my new bike and was wondering if some could tell me where can I get parts for my Trek Mountain bike. Like new break system and suspension for the front wheels.

Hi to both of you and welcome to the forum.

Post the specs of the bike you have now and where you ride.
It might not be advantageous changing all of that stuff now - it may be cheaper to replace bits as they wear out.
(For example, I would like to change some bits on my bike, but it's coping fine at the moment - upgrading my current forks would cost the best part of £700. It's not worth it for the riding that I am doing at the moment.)

Seems like spam from the first one, pigeon English auto spammer, scans the page for topics mentioned so it looks real. Maybe im being cynical but....
