Ok, just for quick confirmation really. Gotta buy a bike for a mate tomorrow, he don't know aht he's gonna use it for yet. He's got œ300 to spend. I figured the Mongoose Tyax elite œ280. Is there anything much better for the money?

    Is that the œ270.00 one, virtually the same spec wise as the 'Goose' without the dampened fork

  • I think it is. I was told that the forks were pretty much the same, The Dawes was meant to be œ20 more, but LBS put it at the same price as the TYAX
