Looking at getting a bike for my brother for maximum budget of £750,
Needs to be 120 mm + travel for aggressive trail riding.
Seen lots of fs bikes mostly around 2010 year models or more recent ht's.
Are there any models I should avoid buying and any I should look out for? any assistance appreciated. Seen quite a few commencal meta 55s in good nic but unsure of whether to take the plunge.
Thanks
