Which one would be best.

Currently have a Five 29er and a road bike, the road bike is being sold as Im just not gelling with it and I want to replace it with another 29er.

The second 29er is going to be used predominantly for commuting duties but also for shorter rides.

The parkwood and inbred ar roughly the same price for the entry level models but obviously the parkwood is a newer design and also has newer geometry.

I may want to fit guards to the bike as well if that makes a difference.

Which would you choose and why?

Is there any others around the £600 mark to look at too?

My mate has both and I much prefer the Parkwood. Inbred seems old in comparison. He's actually selling the Parkwood frame shortly is you're interested. It's a medium I think.

I have a Parkwood and really like how it rides thats coming from a Lynskey TI 456 26" wheel version. I fancied a Titus fireline but the budget wouldnt stretch. The geo for the fireline and parkwood are the same I believe

I know you can put guards on an inbred but can you fit them to a parkwood ?
