A long shot, on behalf of a friend. With a budget of around £300 does anyone have any ideas for something that could be use for both light trails (to give an example the blue/red route at Llandegla at most I'd imagine) but which could also have a baby seat attached to it for general flat grassy/path country park use etc.

Not against buying used if there's a few that could be considered but over budget and looking out for one on eBay/Gumtree instead.

Went on a bespoke campbell coaching course this weekend in preparation for an alps trip, can't recommend it enough.

My cornering, jumping and drop off improved loads, ironed out loads of bad habits that would have ended up hurting me.

On the Sunday we went to foel gasnach for some proper steep uplift assisted downhill fun, some pretty intense stuff leaving DMC with a suspected broken hand after the first run down.

Don't know if this lot any use to anyone

The rims are in excellent condition but rear hub bearings are u/s I pressure washed it after a few rides to clean chain area! Doh. Rims are wtb all mountain disc only. Hubs are shimano. Front feels fine. The specialized chunder downhill (2.3s)tyres are hardly used. The wtb raptor ones (2.24s) are one from rear is part worn but other like new. You could split and eBay it all or rep rear and sell on but I can't be bothered! I only want £20 for the lot but its collect only I am afraid.

If you could box them up, I'd arrange a courier to collect them from where's convenient for you?

I'll give a bit to see if anyone local wants em. Problem with pickup is stupid shifts I work.

had my eyes on the specialized tyres but think they would be too wide for me

Literally 2 miles up the road from my house! You could have at least stopped in the pub to buy me a pint on the way past!
