Anyone got any recommendations, I have been looking at the Specialized Hardrock range, I don’t want to spend more than £300 and would like front shocks that this bike offers.

Daz.

P.S: Might learn to spell Mountain today as well.

Just bought a Hardrock Comp myself. Went for another Specialized cos my current bike (Rockhopper, now 14 years old ) has lasted so long and so well and Specialized still seem to make very good frames - I'm going to upgrade bits one at a time so I wasn't too bothered about their spec, but they're not too shabby to start with for the price. For lots of reviews check out mtbreview.com

Cheers, Peter.

 

I think you'll be hard pushed to buy a better bike at that kind of money.

Good thing about the Spesh is that all the bits are easily upgradeable in the future.

Cheers

Cheers guys, buy mine tomorrow, gone for the Hardrock A1 Comp S in yellow and got £50 knocked off so it's costing £350 instead of £400.

Darren,

Is this just to make the back of the car look good, or are you planning on getting some exercise, you fat git

Noel

 

Dont call Daz fat, he's big boned !

I can just imagine the conversation now,

"Cant understand it, it cost me three hundred quid, ive spent a grand modding it and its not got any faster ?"

 

It's to hide the TD badge on the back

 

B4astards, I'm telling my Mum !!!

Where’s my ball I'm taking it home !!!

Noel still taking the ugly pills mate ???

Jacko how's the Volvo estate running ???

John how many Imprezas can one man own, want to swap fuel bills.

Daz soon to be thinner.

 

For this sort of money o would get a cpouple of the MB mags and buy second hand.

 

Paul I thought about that but they are offering 12 months interest free credit and free servicing for 12 months and a 3 year guarantee on all parts.

In the end when I got to the shop they had screwed up and sold the bike I was buying to someone else so I ended up with a red bike same spec, they then put a tiny scratch on the frame building it and knocked more money off so I got a bargain.

Daz.

 

Its running fine as is my old Golf GTI, have to gety out for that pint, anything coming up soon ?

By the way are you really under three hundred pounds ?

Only joking mate, dont tell your mum on me!

 

I know were you live, but it's a bit far to ride there so you’re safe for now.

Daz.

 

Lets face it Daz, your front gate is a bit far in your condition

Noel

 

Easy or I'll drive to your house mate.

Daz.

 

Come on then fatty, you'll never make the climb up my front step! :

P.S. When are you next at the Oak?

Noel

 

Have a look at the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative They do some excellent kit all available via online ordering and delivered to your door. I've got one of their own brand 'Cuillin' bikes and it cost under £300. The Cuillin range is great, as you get good quality components without paying over the top for big name frames (quality is still very good though). Do a comparison on bike specs from other suppliers at similar prices and you'll see what I mean.

Cheers
Chris

 

Christmas ask your missus how unfit I am!!!!!!!!!


Daz.

Edited to say cheers Chris but I have now bought a bike mate.

Should be down the Oak soon, just finding time at the moment with work and mini me, is Olly around much?

Daz.

 

Around much! He's never away, it's like having another kid in the house, only messier!

I do hope for the child's sake you were joking with the 'mini me', I hope she takes more from her Mum than you, you ugly bald git!
