Looking to spend around £700
Trek Mamba and Cube Analog 29er
Any others !!!!!
you can get something lovely in the second hand market for that, singular swifts, scandals, older salsa el mariachi's kona units etc...
how about a new[url= http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/charge-cooker-mid-29er---pre-order-deal-save-10-1894-p.asp ] charge cooker 29er[/url]
We have a proto/demo here in the shop, and its rides very very well.
And it gets better... I am doing 10% off on pre-orders, so its only £720 to you.
You get proper steel tubes from tange, some nice bits, and a great ride.
What size are you?
Those cookers look bang on. What sort of weights are we talking about Charlie?
Hold on, I will get the scales...
If you can up the budget a little £850 gets a 2012 Trek Cobia , 10 spd , Recon air fork , Hayes hydraulics , Shimano hubs and it looks and rides great . The Mamba is way below that in spec .
Charlie
I ride an 18 full sus so similar size.
Looks impresive lovely steel too
The digi scales says 27 pounds.
That is with a reba, so the proto is nearer the spec of the Hi Cooker at £999, but again 10% off on pre-orders.
If 27 pounds scares you, dont panic, its all about weight that works. You see the weight is in many places including the frame, which is steel, so its weight that works for you by delivering a nice twang, long life and smooth ride.
The tyres on this one are overweight, so their is room to diet.
27lbs is fine. My rigid, alfined swift is 28lbs. Charge look to have done a really good job of putting together a real nice bike for reasonable cash. Thanks Charlie.
I would suggest blowing the budget and getting the [url= http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/charge-cooker-hi-29er---pre-order-deal-save-10-1901-p.asp ]Charge Cooker Hi[/url], you get better bits, and there is almost no compromise in the specs.
But with all the bikes we sell, if you want to upgrade anything, just ask, its all do-able.
No worries chaps... here to help... well I was... I am now off down the pub (on a Kona Humu). If you need any more info or anything, feel free to call me and Simon (aka Crashy) on 01929 475833.
Love that vid
I love that vid too...Was just about to press the button on a CX frameset, now im in two minds! 😕
Cool vid !
That video is cool, looks like it was filmed sort of this time last year. Autumnal sun. MMMMMMMM.
I am a bit surprised that the Cooker Hi seems to still come with a Dart fork ? Is that right ?
Nice looking angles on the frames though.
I ride a Swift & I loves it.
Nice to see Nick backtracking from his 'unconvinced by 29er' stance in the vid 😀
