Hi Guys, this is my first post on here! I'm trying to decide between the following 2 bikes.
Pinnacle Jarrah 2 650b 2015
_________________________________
Carrera kraken 2015 (white and orange edition/version)
It's my first mountain bike and I'm torn between these 2 as I know someone selling both for the same price but I'm not sure which to go for.. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated

Go one then, and then assume you have the right model, in the right country etc.
And as they are both second hand, assume that they are stock standard.
Then come back and make another smartarse comment.I don't do smileys.

Thanks Guys
P.S. the bike isn't for going on any big and challenging trails, its just to get used to riding a mountain bike maybe just on smaller trails and through woods etc..0 -
Not a lot in it but the forks and brakes on the Carrera probably just take it. Marginally.
Depends on the price though.I don't do smileys.
