Hello, I am looking at purchasing a new bike for around £2000 maximum. Full suspension is what i'm looking for as i do all trail riding and red routes. Any and all help is appreciated P.S Ordering online is preferred

Welcome to Bike Forums. I'm guessing you live in the UK since your currency is £. Ask the folks in the UK Regional subforum for help. They live there. Good luck.

Yea 2000 quid is probably entry level for something decent , with out the VAT added yet.

I'm not Google or Amazon do your own searching .

there are Multinational Brands (Trek/Specialized/ C'dale) and UK specific brands .

Ive heard of 'MuddyFox".. over here .. FW Evans has a bunch of stores around UK .

I only visited the London One in '88, Back then they had British made steel frames
we shopped for a touring bike, a group tour member planned to buy her bike for the upcoming Trip.

that time has Passed.

Do you know what wheel size you want 26, 27.5, 29'' ? or how much travel 100,120,140mm+ ?

Paulscycles.co.uk always have some crazy good deals.

There's no need to attack someone for asking for help, that's what these forums are for. I do my own searching but as i am not as educated as other people on the subject, asking for a second opinion is not a bad thing. Learn some manners, too

KingCrepe

27.5" Wheels preferably, 120mm+ travel should be fine I'm open to opinions though, as i said i want everyone elses opinions

But you're not asking for a second opinion, you're asking for a first opinion/recommendation. And you'd do better thickening your skin, before you ask the interwebs to be nice.

I agree 100%. If we all googled our questions, there would be no reason to visit the forums. Seriously. I too get annoyed when a respondent says "google it". It tells me that he doesn't know the answer to your question but yet longs to sound superior. Newbie queries are often redundant, but they serve to build to online relationships. There are people on this forum whose opinions I've learned to value and others I've learned to ignore.

took tarilflow's suggestion and went to pauls cycles in uk......yes, very good deals on excellent bikes.

Thanks dude, nice to have someone on these forums here to help rather than just cause trouble I did look on pauls cycles in the uk aswell, and personally thought as far as bang for buck goes, the Cannondale trigger 4 seemed to catch my eye the most. Is it really worth the extra £1000 for the upgrade to the bike you suggested do you think? From what i heard the leftie forks weren't ever so popular

Bizarre response

fietsbob

Go take the guy on a shopping trip then , you're over there.

RDB

There are lots of bizarre people on this forum who don't believe in helping others. They are also known as elitist egotistical snobs

Well said.

avidone1

looks great, and the price can't be beat. I use slx components and they perform flawlessly. I say 'go for it"

avidone1

Yes, but I sometimes wonder if the responses that don't make much sense are from people struggling with English. I like to think so, otherwise we have some seriously challenged posters here at BF
