guys thanks for the feedback , Brad thanks for the detailed information , do you suggest a hard tail MTB ?

was thinking of a budget from R14k-R18k , is that a reasonable budget

thanks loving the feedback have found the options below , are carbon frames ok to buy or to stick with Alu ? 2011 Rocky Mountain Element 30 MSL Carbon Large @ R17 000 2011 Merida 96 Full CARBON 26 (3X10) @ R 10 000 2010 Carbon 26er Scott Spark XL 2 R12 000 2012 Giant Anthem X 26er Large @ R10 000

guys thanks very much for the input , is a huge help . Cant believe how sport has advanced since i stopped biking many moons ago . What is the suggestion .....going hard tail or dual suspension for the offtrack visits . Looking at the Ads I saw a Scott and Rocky Mountain , what brands bikes are the ones to consider ?

Hi There Wanted to know if there was any point in buying a 26er for recreational use , some road and mountain . I am not planning on winning the Epic . I am 1.86m tall and 110kg , 49 years young ......not that fit , but looking at getting back in the saddle after a 15 year hibernation . Would buying a 2nd hand 26er be throwing money away ? thanks guys , can do with some advise Matteox
