simple answers please.
what would you buy?
For £500 I'd be looking at second hand. Still bargains to be had but prices will start to climb with this nice weather.
Second hand definitely.
The rest depends on the rider and intended use.
My merida cx500.... 😊
Calibre Dune fatbike from GoOutdoors
£549 less 10% until 10 March . . . except a Large will probably be too small for you. So it'll have to be a second-hand fatty . .
`Vodoo bizango. A few newish ones on eBay for 500. Sure they discount new ones down quite often from £650 too.
Maybe a whyte. Depends what you are using it for
A midlife crisis dirt jump bike. Then go get rad at the pump track and local jumps
Ton, what will you be using the bike for buddy?
Second hand 26er Soul or something like that. I paid £300-ish for mine then put about £150 of parts in it and it's ridiculously good.
Another vote for Voodoo. The Hoodoo is often available for under 500
Not the Dune, mine is still going strong 3 years in but I'm 5'8" and 12st. They seem a bit delicate for someone of your size sir.
A Trek FX2, a set of mudguards and some spds
Calibre Astronut.
Omg don't do what I did, i bought a bike from Brinnington, went in the guys house, bought n road it home found quite quickly the pedal arms were bent ta buggered.
Maybe someone on here has a bike you want?
