Hi,

Its bike to work scheme time and im tied to Evans for this. I fancy trying a 29er and will obviously try them out before buying but would anyone be kind enough to explain to me which have the best specs out of the following to give me some guidance?

Kona lava

Jamis durango
http://www.evanscycles.com/jamis-durang ... e-EV306055

Specialized rockhopper
http://www.evanscycles.com/specialized- ... e-EV306338

Or is there anything else at this price point i need to consider?

Dave

    Of those three the Jamis by a big margin, the fork is so much better than on the other two.

    Also have a look at this Norco https://www.evanscycles.com/norco-charg ... e-EV334802
    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.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I will see if my local Evans can get 1 in.

    That norco looks cheap, shame I need a medium rather than a small.
