Hi guys,

Getting into riding again, just starting out and need to get a new bike.

Got 500 squid (could stretch to more if needed).

Want a pretty good all round hardtail, going to be mostly XC stuff but wanna do a bit of downhill too (nothing major).

Anyway I was set on an avalanche 1.0 until i came to this forum now I'm not sure whether to get a Rockrider 8.1 because people have said the spec is very good on them.

GT obviously have a good rep and decathlon are just a sport store, I have one near me so will pop in tonight to check it out.

What would you guys do, and why?

Cheers
Decathlon Rockrider 8.1

    Decathlon for specs. Or try and get a discount for the GT (08 models coming soon) as it is a cracking bike (used to have one). Check the boardman range at halfords too, and the carrera fury for your budget.
