Re: The MTB thread
I was going to ask if you got the Avalanche but you obviously didn't. Shame, as would have made a great base position.
Edit - looking on Fleabay, for about £200 you can pick up some fairly decent second hand hardtails.

Re: The MTB thread
How much is he looking for? Looking, think they might be RST forks unless someone else can tell. Or are they Judy's???? Mechanical discs rather than hydraulic - not always a bad thing but hydraulic would be better.
You got a budget in mind or is it just the cheaper the better?

Re: The MTB thread
He's looking in the region of £100 and I just need something to help keep me fit without trashing my old man's knees

Re: The MTB thread
Just checked they are judy's. For that price you wont get anywhere near the spec, you would only end up with a cheap halfords own brand etc which are naff. If parts need changing, its a decent enough frame to update on.
