    Well my Shermans been fine. Mines a firfly plus though.

    I personally don't like the look of the Beone bikes, just look really cheap and naff but thats personal opinion.

    I'm pretty sure you could get a much better quality Hardtail for the same price.
    Like a Norco Sasquatch or Torrent. GT Ruckus Trail and have money left over for upgrades.

    My Shermans (also firefly plus) were bloody brilliant (though right now i can't be bothered to get them serviced, and they need it)

    No matter what anyone says about those bikes, the kit you get on that WoodBumble (not the plus) is amazing for the price, acctually such a bargain.... so i'd say definately worth it.
    And BeOne used to be known as a proper quality company...

  • The plus looks stunning and you get a lot of kit for the price
