Second hand or new ?

The Silverback has a little bit of an odd geometry.

They tend to be a tad too big. but excellent value, especially on the component side.

 

The Giant is popular yet fairly common and I find the BB to be a bit high, all in all not a bad bike.

Quite a harsh ride.

 

The Ragley is different, nice standover height, good BB placing but works best with an 80 mm. fork I find, as result of the slack angles and long top tube.

 

 

If the Silverback feels comfy and you have perfect reach on it, that is a winner.
