Re: The MTB thread
I had one of those Nerve's before the changed the name from XC to AM. Amazing value, superb spec but I just couldn't get on with the shape.
Great bike though, and I'd defo consider another in future. |

Re: The MTB thread
TBH at that price, my first visit would be Halfords anyway, they've got some great options in that range- Carrera Fury memorably won a bike test in What Mountain Bike where it was up against a range of £800 bikes, frinstance, and the Boardman range is good. But the really good ones, the assorted higher end Voodoos, are all out of stock I think which is a bit of a bummer.

Re: The MTB thread
Cheers pal - if you had any particular recommendations (even if they're out of stock at the mo), please let me know.
I know the guy who works at the local Halfords and they can sometimes get stuff, or at least give me the deal in the timeframe I have and then get the bike in - if you see what I mean? |

Re: The MTB thread
If they can find you a Voodoo Bizango, it's an absolute belter, mate of mine has one and it's hard to credit it was only £600- brilliant.

Re: The MTB thread
Nope they dont have the fs pro in stock any more. Thats the hardtail one.
The boardman hardtails are great but a little racy. The voodoo ones are nice. The fury is also good but I would spend my money on one of the others. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 |

Re: The MTB thread
The Voodoo Hoodoo is the highest spec Voodoo Halfords do on their site.

Re: The MTB thread
Right now, I think it's a straight fight between the Carrera Fury http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165499
and the Voodoo Hoodoo http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...Id_165499#tab1 |
