Right got my latest ride 2 work scheme allowance this year 1k. I'm looking to get a MTB 29er, yes it would be used for commuting, I have various other bikes that could do the trip, but a MTB will be more comfortable when the tow paths I use get very wet and muddy. That said, I would want to spend only around 6-700 range as I would like to get other accessories.
Recommendations, experiences welcome, the challenge are:-
Has to be 29er- so i could swap around my 700c tyres from all my other bikes
Has to be from Evans cycle
Triple crank
Air fork with lock out- I'm undecided about this, maybe convinced with a good coil fork with remote lockout
Hydraulic brakes - pref Shimano
At lest midspec drive chain- no Acer stuff
A Voodoo bizango would of been perfect but that's not available from Evans, the bikes that hoover in those requirements are mostly Cannondale - and the trade off is between £££ and coil forks. Is air sprung the real deal?
