Slowbee Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 rookie - have a look at the classified's. Some nice deals there. http://www.thehubsa....size-medium-17/ this is a good deal as well. and it appears to have better spec's.
Slowbee Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 oh yes, does your budget include helmet, shoes, hydration pack, clothes?
jvz246 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 dont trust 2nd hand. Like the waranty and service plan. Will worry about shoes and packs later....just starting out. Bike size for me large.

Bike size for me large.hmm nothing wrong with 2nd hand a lot of guys on the Hub ride 2nd, 3rd 4th hand bikes. I agree with Slowbee u can get a better spec bike for that amount. Have you got a helmet?

The Helmet is the MOST important thing....then get the bike, save on the "tubeless" converstion and do that yourself....plenty info on the hub (howto's)
Tumbleweed Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 dont trust 2nd hand. Like the waranty and service plan. The service plan isn't a value-added extra. It's built into the price.
nigelhicks Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 hey dude - thats not a bad price ... also look at the scott aspect - they are well priced and have good spec
