[Wanted] Mountain bike
Well, we're all interested in many things and I'm sure someone here has one.
I'm looking for a mountain bike, hardtail, with preferably hydraulic disk brakes.
Who's got something that they've not used for far too long and keep tripping over it...?
All things considered, but I'm not looking to spend £1,000!

What size is the frame Moo? Might be a couple inches too small.

as an independent (i.e. not looking to buy or sell another bike) that's a damn good bike for the money. But if you've not ridden a titanium frame, try it first, as some don't like the feel - others love it.

I agree it's a very good spec and what I'm looking for, it's just a touch too small for me.
So anyone else have one, 27.5 wheels (makes it easier to carry spares for the lads bike as well).
Also on similar subject, what 3 bike racks are people using that can be used along with a caravan?
I have the fixed towbar.
I am 6 foot 1 and a bit and its perfect. Fast steering and well geared. Probably done 50 miles on it tops!
Looking for £600 ono

Ian - Witter 4 bike rack on my fixed towbar. Works OK with 'van on the back too. Just make sure you get the 4x4 version as this keeps the bikes away from the car.

Should have said you were looking whilst you were here Bodsy!
I've not ridden mine for a long time and think I'd be better off with a road bike (If anything!)
No disk brakes, but hard tail - not expensive either.
I'll have to look in the garage to see what it actually is though. Mark.

Was just about to stick it on ebay this weekend - I have a custom built Kona Dawg Deelux.
It's an older frame (2006 I think) but I built it up with a brand new 2x10 shimano XT Group Set and Fox Float fork. I was thinking I'd get more money back by splitting it for parts, but would happily sell to a Forum member for £400. PM if you're interested and I can send pics.

Thanks for all of the offers and info.
I’ve now got a bike. Lol
Not quite in the same league as some of the ones I’ve been offered but it works well and brakes!
Claude Butler Wrath something or other. Ticks all the boxes.
Been out on it a few times and yup! Not surprising, I’m very unfit!
Went out on it earlier today within the youngest and his biking buddies......
I’m !!!
Was out for a good two hours, but I came back when they wanted to go up hill again! I left them to it!
