Hi all,
A PPI claim has come through so going to get a full susser to go with the Whyte hardtail.
Thought about buying second hand but bit risky so will finance up to 2/2500 ish.
I'm not technically minded, don't ride black. normally Cannock/Degla but regularly ride the Mynd and Malvern. Odd trips to the Peaks.
I love climbing so the bike needs to be ok at it!
I am not a label man and will not spend stupid money on a big name.
Been looking at Cannondale Habit or Jekyll and also Giant, but been to my local bike shop who do Merida and Lappierre. They said the Merida 120 was a good place to start.
Anyone know anything about Merida? Any experience? Or anything else to chuck in?
Many thanks

Merida are huge and make frames for loads of manufacturers, including, I think, Specialised.I don't do smileys.
