hello people.

new to the board, just looking for some help deciding between 2 bikes.

so i have decided to buy a mountain bike and have narrowed it down to 2 bikes. i have a budget of around 600.

i like the GT avalanche 2015 http://www.evanscycles.com/products/gt/ ... e-ec070827

and i like the Merida Big Seven 100 http://www.phillipscycles.co.uk/mtb-rec ... e.tpl.html


not really too sure on which one to get.

any info or help would be great.

thanks

    Which scheme? Ironically the only 'ride to work' scheme I know of called cycle to work IS Halfords own scheme!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
