Hi,
I am looking at getting back into :x rding after about 10 years off.
Looking to spend up to a grand maybe stretch the budget a little bit if required.
Just after a bit of advice on a bike as ibe been away from the scene for years. I live in Gloucester so close to the forest of fean and plenty of local trails.
Before I mainly rode cross country and that will probably be the bulk of my riding but hopefully looking for something that could cope with the FOD trail centre and a few trips to bike park wales.
Thanks

Have a look on Pauls cycles at the Giant Anthem, despite being shorter travel it's very competent on demanding trails, it's also very at home on all day XC jaunts.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.0

The Boardman is a great bike and very good value but obviously stretches your budget a bitCurrently 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.0

Have a look at the ex rental bikes at the FOD trail head as well, sometimes a few well maintained bargains down there..0
