pererace70 Posted May 7, 2008 Share With winter coming along I've decided it's time to invest in a Mountain Bike.... Therefore I need some suggestions? I think in the region of 10 - 15k should get me decent machine. Thanks (P.S. PLEASE don't paste your dream machines... I also wish I was a bazillionaire six times over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted May 7, 2008 Share What are you planning on riding. Have a K2 posted in the classifieds. if you are in the region of 6" and are looking to do XC this bike is amazing. Downhill then you'll have to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 7, 2008 Share (P.S. PLEASE don't paste your dream machines... I also wish I was a bazillionaire six times over) Well, some of are not and still got amazing machines. You can get a pretty good NEW machine in that price range ot get a great SECOND HAND machine in that price range. HT or FS? XC or AM? Freeride or Downhill?
