As the title please..... My old ankles took a battering the other night, and would like a 29er full suss. I've test ridden a trek superfly before and liked it, so something like that. Size large, lighter the better. Not too bothered about condition, but no piles of shite!

Go and speak with momentuim bike shop in brentwood, they have got a few spesh 29ers as demo bikes so may be able to get a good price on them there, if not try velo virtuose in southend as they do demo bikes as well.

Is that one of the Chinese carbon frames?

I'm 6' (183cm for the youngsters!)... Back in the day, I rode a 17" , but for the type of riding I do now, I need what most companies call a large....I've got long legs!

I'll find out what momentum have in stock ;0)

I rode an Anthem X 29er on a demo day at Rutland Cycles. Very nice bike! Went with the Rumblefish as it felt the best of the 4 i rode (Scott and Spesh). The Anthem X is always getting great reviews! You need to try one!

Ugly? She's a beauty!

Are you looking for a new bike or a used one? If you are looking for a used one then I can't help but if you are looking for a decent XC 29er then I got a Rocky Mountain Element 930 from Evans. It cost £2,000 originally but they are now pulling out of the franchise and so have reduced the bike to £1,300 now:

She's super fast and not too porky either.

What does it weigh?
I was looking at the 950, as it gets the best write ups.......they only seem to have the extra large left......

I've been in the shop all day today with an Anthem 4 29er on display and it really is a lot better looking in real life than in the internet pictures. £1500 for an awesome riding bike.

If you get the change come over and have a look at it in the flesh dude.
