Hi, refugee fromt he commuting forum here, a few guys at work have expressed an interest in going to the Alps next year for some MTB'ing, a mate with some four grand Orange Downhill makes it sound terrifying and only for him and his similarly equiped mates, basically I can spend a grand on the Cycle to work scheme, my mate makes Morzine sound like you need the four grand bike but I see it as ski-ing, they have loads of trails for various abilities and I am not going to do black runs, I just fancy easy to moderate runs on something reasobly capable, dont want a full DH bike as for me it would be useless over here as I dont want something I cant ride uphill that weighs half a tonne, I want it to be general purpose.
Any suggestions ?
