I can get it for about US$520ish. Anyone have any opinions on it? I have been riding mtn bikes for a while, but haven't bought one for about 7 or 8 years

I'll be trading in my road bike to get this.

Ta,

Rob.

Hmm I'd keep the road bike as you can never have to many bikes. The specs seem good except for that SR Suntour fork and I'm slightly concerned that they spec'd a disc in front but not in back. Does the frame have disc mounts in the rear? They'd be useful if you wanted to go full disc
