That looks amazing value! The parts new would cost a LOT more than that.

    Even just for the components that's good value.

    Presumable Ms Trott is not a 'moutain biker'

    "Laura Trott MTB 1 Womens Moutain Bike"

    How do you think this compares to the voodoo bizango?

    Better value by a margin, how it rides I don't know, but at that price you could buy a decent frame with the geo you want and use it as a full component source!

    Ok cheers. Looking for a starter mtb for my wife, so we can do some easy trails together with the little 'un. Was thinking the bizango as it gets good reviews, but not sure about a 29er for her.

    Boardman wasn't a mountain biker but Boardman bikes are pretty good. Probably because he has nothing to do with Boardman bikes other than selling his name to them.

    I missed that. Maybe moutain biking is the next big sport in cycling.

    Maybe this is Laura Trott? Using a sneaky pseudonym.

    I guess it's better than the more common 'mounting bike' see a lot of those for sale.
