edited August 2008 in MTB buying advice
my mates just told me that he is going to look at a full sus ironhorse tomorrow, doesnt know what model it is yet, which is helpfull, but apparently xc orientated , was £1200 now £600. i dont know anything about them so was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are generally like. ie are they good or crap frame wise or should he be looking at the usual spesch, trek, gt route to be safe. he usually rushes into things so trying to calm him down before he impulse buys it in the morning then wished he had looked around!! any thoughts??

  • Alarm bells would be ringing in my head if anything was £1200 now £600!

    Where's he getting it from?

    your right rich but this is the same person that bought a cagiva mito for reliability, if only everyone was perfect like you and i!! he isnt getting it now anyway so will have to make up 2hrs of my time spent looking into ironhoses this weekend.

    Sounds like it could be the azure.
    Is it a good bike? Full price, no.
    Has your mate got a deal... looking at it yes, spec isn't that compromised compared with a £600 hard tail.
    Would i buy it? Probably not.
