~400€ MTB

jriseth · August 2014

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a new mountainbike for around 400 euros or so. I am 1,90cm tall and weight about 120kg, any advice on which bike I should purchase? I've been searching myself and found that Bulls Sharptail 1 Disc (http://www.bulls.de/en/bikes/show/sharptail-1-disc-275/) is a pretty decent choice for the money. What do you guys think about it?

It's horrible. Nasty fork, 7 speed freewheel. Heavy.

What would you recommend to buy then? I have to get a bike that could be shipped to Estonia.

But no idea about Estonia.

That's not a €499 bike, it's a €250 bike, truly awful value for money.

Okay, so far I've found out that it's a big pain in the arse to order the Two.Two from gooutdoors - they do ship internationally but my card has been rejected twice when ordering from the phone and so I've resorted to searching for a used bike and found this:

Decathlon Rockrider 8.2 2007
Suspension: Rockshox Reba Race 100mm
Brakes: Shimano LX hydraulic 100mm
Transmission: Shimano XT (3x9)
Seat: Fizik Gobi
Tires: Maxxis

Seller asks for 375€, would this be a good buy?

A seven year old bike - who can say?

If the card is rejected have you told your bank you intend to purchase from abroad?
