Someone I know if upgrading his MTB for a full sus job and has given me his old GT Avalanche 3.0 - which is in decent enough nick.
My question is - is this bike any good?
I don't do that much off road riding and always hire a bike when I do, so it'd be nice to know if this bike is up to my plans for next week.
I am going away next week to do some biking in Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales next week.
I will will be riding on fire roads, dirt tracks and a few bits with of rocky bits. There will be no bonkers technical stuff or speedy down hilling cos I'm a newbie. I did the same terrain last year on a Trek 6300.
The Trek was more than adequate for the riding we did. I know the GT is not the same quality as the Trek but is the GT up to a couple of day long rides?
