MTB What To Buy For 20k

[Stewart69uk]

Hi

I'll admit straight away i'm a newbie.

Been out of the mountain bike game for a good number of years so very rusty.

I entered st johns dsg yesterday and had an awesome day and now hooked again

now i just need to buy my own bike and wondered if anyone has any recommendations around the 20k price range

i'm sure you guys and girls have more knowledge than I can cram in my brain

thanks

Hardtail or Dual

Get a 29er. Any 29er.

I've always ridden a hardtail i'd be pushed to buy a dual but can be convinced if it's a better bike

was looking at the scott scale 29 expert its the first bike i've really looked at so need some advice

What size are you, if you ride a small, I have the perfect bike for you, and you'll have enough chnge to get yourself extras.

 

Selling my Giant antherm 29er in excellent condition.

I'm a medium Unfortunately. Had an Awesome ride on a 26 hardtail Giant yesterday forgot just how much adrenalin pumps thru on the downhill bits

Will a 29er turn as quick as a 26 i.e responsiveness ??

yes we do - he is kzn where 26" is still very much alive and well used

[Tedster]

Think the Silverback Storm 1 is pretty well specked for the price.

[JGR]

Momsen AL529 (R14k) or SL729 could work for you.

Worst advice ever

[Stewart69uk]

My Friend just bought a silverback mercury elite ds 29er it's nice just need to have a good go on it and see how it performs.

Never usually like to ride someone else's bike encase I come off and scratch or wreck it

Worst advice ever

i was being faecetious.

[DR ◣◢]

You mean facetious unless you meant faecetious which would translate roughly as "*** funny"

[Stewart69uk]

I like the look of the momsen AL529 R of the Dual Link 6

Does Anyone have one of these ?
