Hi Chaps,
Sadly I’ve had my bicycle stolen and I need to find a replacement. Because of my insurance excesses I only have a budget of £400.
I’m looking for a hardtail, did look at the BTwin rockrider 540 and tried an XL in store but it felt really small length wise (guessing this means the geometry is wrong?).
I had a Claud butler cape wrath 29er that was stolen.
I’m 6ft 6 so will need an XL/XXL framed bike, i would like suspension that could be locked out ideally. Did find the 2017 Cube Analog for £399 which seems a good price has lock out forks (rock shox)
Also seen the Voodoo Bantu 2017 and that looks an okay spec.
Any help chaps, sorry I can’t stretch this budget.

Some options here. Seems like size is maybe going to be a limiting factor.

Second hand might get you the best deal. Not too many XXL's out there though.0
