I've been cycling to work almost a year now, buying a sirrus comp to replace the ageing Scott mtb I had early in the year. The Scott was passed on to my father in law who is using it daily pottering about.
I'm now after something to have a little fun on trails, cross country and for use during snowy commutes. My budget is low £200-£250, may stretch to £300 but would prefer to stay below £250 having the rest to replace tyres if needed. I will be looking second hand as I would prefer something with a bit of quality.
I would like front shocks (lookout if possible but not essential) and disc brakes. I have been watching some on eBay and almost bid on a specialised hardrock disc at £250 earlier today but decided to watch the market a little more.
I'm watching a Gary Fisher Marlin and a couple of GTAgrressor XC 2's. One if which has upgraded forks.
I'm after recommendations really as I've not been around the MTB market since the mid 90s! So any suggestions or links to possibilities (or anyone selling up?!) appreciated. I'd be looking at medium size. ....
Thankyou!
