More interested in hardtail bikes as full suspension is too expensive. I was looking at specialized rockhopper pro 2009 which is £850. But is it just the name that is making it expensive or are they really worth it?

    I suggest that you go to an Evans Cycles and look at the Pinnacle range. This is indeed a store brand but have some very good engineering and are equipped as well or better than just about any bike for the price.

    You can do better with Orange for £625 in Glasgow.

    check up cube bikes the frame are awesome should be within your budget

  4. The Specialized is not bad. You are buying a good XC frame that will enjoy single track.

    It is worth looking at the Scott Scale, if you are considering race work.

    The Orange Evo 8 isnt bad.

    If you are thinking of full sus, the Kona Coller 07 version can be picked up for 900.

    Cannondale are also worth a look.

    Of all of these, I still think that the Specialized is going to give you the best all round ride.

    Luck

    I read your shipwrecked question, and I just wanted to let you know that my brother in law (Jack) was on it this year, and he went out there August the 23rd and came back early November.

    The other people were wrong!
    haha.

  6. If I was spending £900 on anything I would want local expert advice, someone I could go back to if I had a problem or just needed a bit of help. Go and see your local "GOOD" bike shop. The owner will be pleased to give you the best advice he/she can. They want you to be happy with your purchase and to get the most out of your cycling. You may make a life long friend into the bargain!
