November 28, 201510 yr My lad has a Cnoc 16 and middle un has a Beinn 24. Pricey but worth the money and as Homo says they hold their value really well. I've just sold my Banshee Spitfire and built up a ht for the winter, will be ordering a Bronson CC early next year.
November 29, 201510 yr No bike thread would be complete without the funniest piece of comentary ever witnessed.
November 29, 201510 yr You really appreciate how quick he is on that when you see the likes of Gee Atherton struggling his bollocks off on the same run.
November 29, 201510 yr I've got one of these thinking I'd get in to mountain biking and it's not for me think it will be going on eBay after Xmas http://www.drakescycles.co.uk/m1b100s356p4804/CANNONDALE_Trail_3_29_2015/RS_GB/20187
November 30, 201510 yr What size? Frame size is medium but it is a big bike I'm 5ft11 and it's fine for me
December 1, 201510 yr It's practically like new still so hoping to get back as much as I can for it cost me £699
December 1, 201510 yr It's practically like new still so hoping to get back as much as I can for it cost me £699 It would probably fetch 350 -400 on the Bay, maybe more if you wait till spring/summer.
December 30, 201510 yr The Trance X4 was around a grand when it was came out 6 years ago, a 2015 is around £1300 new.If it's an older one and it's a bit battered and needs £150 throwing at it, then maybe not. Anything newer that doesn't require any parts,then yes. Excellent bikes Edited December 30, 201510 yr by Burndens Bogs

January 1, 201610 yr Swanny, even if the Giant Trance is a bit battered it will be 100 times better than a Rock Rider from Decathlon.
January 1, 201610 yr they relisted it and whacked the price up (even though it didn't sell at 300) Current prospects are Giant Railato at 140 (second hand) Rockrider 520 (250) Gt lts @ 250 (second hand) or a Ribble road bike at 250 (second hand) be nice to have a new bike with no issues, just get on and ride... still cant decide if mtb or road bike is the way forward, being 18 stone road bijes are not really meant for people my size
January 1, 201610 yr Swanny if you're undecided then buy a cheap MTB and see how you like it, personally I love it & lost 2 stones in the first 3 months - that was 5 years ago and I've never put any back on despite eating and drinking whatever the fuck I want. If you don't take to the MTB then try a road bike, I find road biking incredibly boring but each to their own. Whether you choose a MTB or road bike,if you buy one of the top 10 "brand" names, you can almost guarantee getting 70% of your money back when you sell it. Specialized Trek Giant Cube Cannondale GT Kona Orange Scott Canyon Maybe throw in Boardmans,Commencal,Yeti,Lapierre and a couple of others into the mix and you won't go far wrong went it comes to selling on.

January 1, 201610 yr eyeing up this bad boy too ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281896793621?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
January 1, 201610 yr Just to throw a spanner in the works maybe consider a cyclocross bike. Can ride off road or on road with just a change of tyres.

January 3, 201610 yr I've headed towards road bikes again, been to look at a few second hand bikes and they were all hammered... Road bikes seem to be looked after a lil more, then maybe keep my eye open for a decent mtb down the line.
January 3, 201610 yr Had a CX bike for a while but couldn't get on with it, was great for bridleways/canals etc but wasn't much fun taking it down San Marino a couple of times. What's your budget out of interest?

What's your budget out of interest? You rode a CX down the San Marino? Kinell, it's hard enough on a decent Full Suspension, i've seen plenty come a cropper riding down there even on decent Mountain bikes. Edited January 3, 201610 yr by Burndens Bogs
