Been looking to get a new bike as the one ive got at the moment is trash. So far the 3 that i have found and somewhat like the look of are the giant talon 2, voodoo bizango and the vitus nucleus 275 vr. If any one has used any of these bikes/know alot about them, any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

    Bizango is the one. Get from Halfords - I think it is due for a new model as they renew them every 2 years so watch out for the old stock being put on offer. Get a UK Cycling card for 10% off. Try for size in the shop.

    The above will do for the BC discount, £20.70 if paid on DD.

    I get mine from MVF in 20kg. bags.
    The Wife complained for months about the empty pot of bike oil on the hall stand; so I replaced it with a full one.

    You might think about the Boardman 29 er pro which is reduced to £650 in the Halfords sale. I think this is the same price as the Bizango. I think both models are changing this year hence the price drop. Very impressed with both. I had the yellow Bizango which is a previous model and I wrecked it. The Boardman has a much higher spec - shocks, gears and brakes but you need to get used to removing the back wheel as there is a retrofit screw in place to stop the axle unscrewing - it is not obvious. Good luck with it.

    Your timely advice is about as useful as your trolling skills.

    But at least I give it. And thanks for your interest - little stalky though. Happy New Year to you.
