26er

If you are looking at a hardtail,go for 29",if you are going for a full suspension,look for a decent 26",,great deals out there at the moment,I would personally go for the 26" if I were you,the quality of bike you can get,will by far exceed a couple of mm...

I have had both Trek and Merida,all the same thing,and all of them had "made in taiwan" stickers on,go with your gut...

Any advice to do a time under 3 hours?

I looked at buying a Scott 950 from them, The Sales man told me "It even comes with hydraulic disc brakes" I just laughed and walked away...

I have paid my school fees with Cajees, Fool me once ,shame on you, Fool me twice....
