GT Avalanche 0.5 - advice needed.
Well, I'm in the market for a new bike, and I came across this..
https://www.tradingpost.com.au/Sport-...kToResult=true
My budget is $600 AUD, the bike is advertised as $800 negotiable, so I think I might be able to get it down to about $600..
I was looking for something similar. I was looking for mechanical disc brakes, but this one has hydraulic ones, so that's a bonus.
Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
Thanks,
Luke.

Luke the bike is pretty good value, but I think 800 is definitely too high. Look's like it's in pretty good nick.
Oh lawd, don't start the mech v hydro thing again, we'll have to get Pete to re-join.

I have been told by people that 800 is a high price for that bike.
The seller isn't answering their phone or replying to text messages, so I think I'll just keep looking for a new bike.
Thanks for the help
