was looking at a couple of trek fuel 80 at around 950
anywhere up to 2k for two bikes
do alot of cycling when i can but its all road racing , so fancy a change bit off road


as possibilities anyone reccommend these? or are they over rated
looking at off road canal paths around Brittany and just going for a blast , want something durable that will last

I'd second Graham with the Orange Bikes. (i'm biased, I have two).

If you are specifically looking for Full Sus just for knocking around on, the Orange Five is a FANTASTIC bike.

Buy British!
