Help - pay burning a hole in pocket

sjansma

sorry - that is a lie, the real score is I want to buy myself a new bike. At the minute I am using a cheap full sus front & rear disc bought from the back of a magazine (before you all run off laughing, it was bought to get back into riding again. That way if I didn't like it, I would not have wasted too much money)

Cutting to the chase, I think I have narrowed it down to 2 bikes. First bike is the BeOne Hornet from CRC. It is a full sus with front and rear discs though only cable. It looks really nice and the reviews on their web site read well but obviously you can't test ride an internet order so it is a bit of a gamble.

The second contender is the Specialized Hardrock Sport Hydraulic Disc 2007, whilst I am familure with the brand (having got a couple of their other products) I do not know how they are. The general thought train from reading other threads on the forum is that they are a recomended bike

What are the thoughts? all opinions gratefully received

for that kind of money you're going to want a goodish hard tale rather than a real low-end soft tail

bobbobadobob

agreed - get the good hardtail - spesh it a good example

thank you - still stuck though.

Damn this mind of mine [;)]

colin747

definitly go for the hardrock

sjansma

sounds like a trip to Evans is in order to have a proper look at the Hardrock

(Evans also have it a bit cheaper which is a rather pleasant thought [;)])

Does anybody actually own a BeOne Hornet? not once have I seen anyone on a related thread say they own one. Are they all ashamed at buying one?

joe44

hardrock is a deal!!!

pete13

King.

I'd go with the Hardrock aswell mate as i've heard nothing but people singing its praises! [;)]

Deffinetly the spesh. Perfect starter bike, and good components for the price.

Just to give everyone an update - I don't bother to buy either of them.

Instead I went for a 2005 Gary Fisher Cake 4 DLX [:D]

themolland8

spesh all the way, although have a look at the GT avalanche range, tehy are good contenders

MOLLAND!!!!

get the hardrock
and grippier flats cos the spesh ones are the only downside.
