Ooo!

Now there's a thought!

By the way Siant Viper, is there a bloke who's young lad has a Kona Blast Deluxe 09? He was the one who bought it off me and invited me to join the Woolybacks.

Nice fella too.

Hi all,

I'm raising money for a kids charity that i'm close to through work. It's to give kids with life threatening illnesses a special day or wish. It gives the families of these kids a chance to get away from the mundane hospital visits and a nice memory that they can keep for a lifetime.

The challenge is to do the Manchester 100 mile bike ride on 3rd September.

If anyone is willing to spare a little cash, no matter how little it all makes a difference for such a small charity.

Mate I have just gone through all of this with two mates that have took up MTB.

My choices would be any of these:

www.thebikelist.co.uk/vitus/nucleus-0-2-2011

www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/categ ... o-12-46194

www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=67942

www.decathlon.co.uk/81-2011-id_8168695.html

www.squarewheels.biz/cube_en/men ... -2012.html

I'd personally choose a Vitus. But they're all great bikes.

Vitus are great bikes, however im a Specialized fan and have to say the Rockhopper is a great bike.

Great for the new rider, and also very upgradeable for when your skills out do the standard parts.

If you want a safe bet I agree with Saint Viper, Specialized Rockhopper is a cracking bike to start with.

Looking at building myself a bargain, custom hardtail with bargains I can find on the internet.

First: Frame.

I've set myself a budget of no more than £50 for any parts and i'll have to be shrewd and very patient.

Anyone know of any good second hand frames for sale?

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg



Apologies for coming in late, but at 650 quid, the Boardman HT Pro is an incredibly well specced bike.

Great shout.

My brothers got a Boardman Full Suspension and it's superb.
