hi all,after searching and asking advice on here I went to Halfords today all set to go for a voodoo hoodoo as they seemed best buy between that and a btwin rock rider 520 and calibre two two.when I got there I was chatting with one of the Halfords guys and to cut a long story short he pointed out the bizango and told me it was a whole more bike for the bit extra money.there was also a deal with 10% off this weekend too which ends tomorrow.i was wondering what you guys think is best and if the bizango is that much better than the voodoo and worth the extra money?thanks

    2 completely different bikes due to the differing wheel sizes. If you can try them it'd help you decide. They'll both handle differently so although the spec is better you may find you don't like the larger wheels, you may love them though.

    My Halfords had both, and tried them both and got the Hoodoo. 29ers just feel too big upfront to me.

    I was between the same bikes and went for the Hoodoo.

    Really, really like it so far - Got it built at a local bike place as Halfords tend to vary from excellent to incredibly bad depending on the branch you visit.

    Or just do it yourself, cheaper if you order online with that option as well.
