Pinnacle Mountain Bikes

Hi All,

does anyone have one of these, or know much about the company? I know they are british, and I am tempted with their Evolution III.

Also, I have been trying to get hold of a Trek 8000 2006 model (simply because of the colour) in 15.5 inch, but to no avail. any suggestions where i might get one still?

Don't know much about them as a whole - they're connected to Evans Cycles in some way, and Evans are the only dealers stocking them. They are British designed, which means they are more suited to our 'varied' climate, and can cope with a bit of mud.

However, there are many other options out there, and in particular I would recommend having a look at Merlin Cycles based up in Lancashire. (www.merlincycles.co.uk) There range of Malt bikes are exceptionally good value, handle really well and are pretty light in comparison to most of the stuff available on the market. You can also upgrade any componentry at the point of purchase, so that you tailor the bike to you.

Pinnacle are Evans own brand. As far as I know they were launched in Sept last year. From what ive seen they seem pretty good spec for the price.

I though they might be closely affiliated with Evans, as they seem to be the only stockists for these bikes
