Hey all.

So in 6 weeks ish, (beginning of may) ill be in london area.

Ill most definately be in the market for a new bike when i get there, im looking at spending up to about 1000 pound i would much rather spend less obviously

so what im looking for...

- All Mountain
- Full Suspension
- Hydraulic brakes
- decent brand of bike
- decent gear set
- decent wheel set
- decent suspension setup
- probably a 26" but id look at a 29" maybe
- Medium sized frame (im 5'9" so something that big)
- And id like one in pretty decent condition not too old...

Any suggestion as to what sort of bike i should look at would be appreciated. Or even some tips on looking for a bike as ive never actually bought a full sus bike before or for that matter ridden one. I currently ride a giant boulder hardtail with a few basic mods so im hoping for a drastic upgrade

Im looking at getting a second hand so i can get a slightly better bike for my money.

If any one is selling something that might fit my description please let me know

And i guess i can travel somehow to get places to check out bikes ill wing it in that regard.

alright thats all

cheers

Pinkbike is your friend

but dont rush into something, bikes come and go pretty quick online, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is !!!

I have noticed... I was on pinkbike at work all day yesterday and I was in heaven!! Haha far more selection than I have in australia thats for sure!

What sort of price should I expect to pay for a decent bike that would tick all the boxes for me?

CHeers for the input!!

Around a grand for starters!
