Wife thinking of buying this for my birthady via Groupon ...... Is the actual unit (Bryton 35) any good? How do the maps for the GPS work? Is the computer any good for mountain biking?

Sorry .... messed this post up - please ignore or delete

Looks like I will be getting myself a second hand Giant Trance X2. Really like the look of these bikes and as I understand it, they are pretty sturdy "do-it-all" bike. I got my eye on a 2010 model with all the standard "off the shelf" stuff (no modifications) - in pretty good condition (only minor usage scratches). Guy is asking for R11,500.00 ....... is that a good deal?

Are Volcan bikes any good? I have no knowledge of them. Where are they manufactured? Are they strong? (do a lot of riding in the forests !!)

Thanks folks .... what are the Ghost bikes like ?? I have an opportunity to buy one second hand ...

Hey all, I am a newbie mountain biker !! I initially had a very basic Trek with the rubber pad breaks, etc but then got a slightly better Trek with disk brakes - but didn't ride much. I have now started riding a bit more often and the hard-tail is killing my back and butt !! I live in Nelspruit and we mostly go riding in the forests that surround Nelspruit and White River. I would like to get a full-suspension bike but am unsure of what I should be looking for .... please help !! Don't need a very expensive, fancy bike ... just a good bike that will last me a few good years of riding ...... and is more comfortable !! PS: I know I had 2 Trek bikes, but I have no preference for Trek .... just happened that way. Thanks for the help Vic
