Post subject:  A new Bike
Well I'm looking for a new bike, Currently have one of these with a old marzocchi bomber forks on it, or what ever you call em

Image

Really love this bike, but its crap for roads and its making strange noises at the moment, been used a hell of a lot over the past 5-6 maybe 7 years.
So I think its about time I need a new one,
I cycle about 2-3 times a week, with a good mix between busy roads, nackered roads and a lot of off road riding, through woods etc.

looking to spend around £400 on a new one, maybe more if there's a good reason.

Currently looking at this one http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=14966

Any suggestions , Cheers

Personally i would go for this:
http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=70638
or this
http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=86415

Probably go for the ironhorse over the Kona

Spend 30 quid putting on a pair of DMR Moto RT1's and it'll fly on the road and the trail

Post subject:  Re: A new Bike
note that the BeOne comes without pedals and has a Truvativ crank whick are truly truly awful
I completely ripped through the alu on one my truv crank arms in under 6 months

Also the ironhorse has a ritchley stem, who make bad ass stems
and 20mm more suspension on a better fork (Darts are average forks)

Just something to think about ; )

Oh and the BeOne's reviews on CRC aint too favourable

Back suspension bike are usually not very good unless there over £1000
Also as jfk wants a good road bike unless he spends 1500 and gets a full sus with a lock out he'll be bouncing around the road, putting energy into bouncing instead of into pedalling
