MrsMonkey Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Since you're coming from 20" I'm guessing you're gonna be wanting to buy a full build. Unfortunately, you aint gonna get much in the way of quality for that price and it probably won't be long before you're shelling out and replacing practically everything on the bike.It might be worth taking a look in the for sale section on here as you may be able to get something slightly better second hand or even the best part of a bike then build it up yourself. You'll still have your 20" to ride in the mean time. x Dani x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanie-b Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 HiyaI used to have a monty x-alp maggie, I then changed to a saracen mad 2.6, and totally haven't looked back, On the monty i had dented both rims, these ones have still held up although theyre XC ones To be honest for 300 quid you can't go wrong.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
