colinw Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 deciding on which hardtail to purchase abd have narrowed it down to the following options and would love some unbiased opinions on the better bike. (shops often sell the brands that have better margins and ignore the buyers requirements) merida hfs1000 gt zaskar experttrek 8000mongoose meteore elite tks
Iwan Kemp Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Merida. They make great bikes with good components. Handling is neutral with a comfortable almost familiar feel. They have good back-up and their popularity means you will get good second value.
ASTANA Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Merida HFS 1000 got one the other day!! very much in love. Love the GT aswell - had one - so got to love it
Dirty Twin Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Need I say which? He said unbiased. Nothing wrong with the Goose. Very good components on them.
Cassie Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Merida Merida!! I have recently bought a TFS900 and is as happy as a pig in the mud!!
parabola Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Merida, the HFS frame is awesome. I've got the entry level SUB frame and I love it.
AndreZA Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 The one that fits the best. I found that Merida was not long enough for me and a bit too relaxed. GT was nice and racy. Trek was also upright. I settle for a Raleigh which was perfect. .
peloton Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Colin, it really does not have too much to do with the name-on-the-frame, but rather which one fits you best. peloton2009-04-01 06:11:48
