[Mr Shoubs]

I have looked at and researched a number of bikes (£1.5k - 2k), and finally come up with some advice... and would appreciate some advice.. (i may have overlooked some, so let me know)

I won't be racing but will do long distances and weekends in the peak district and snowdonia among other places, single track, and also use to commute to work on rough bridle ways / road from the sticks (8 miles).

Going uphill is also important, not to mention bombing back down

my short list is as follows (In Order of Pref so far):

Marin Mount Vision

Scott Genius MC20/30

Trek Fuel Ex 8/9



Thanks,

 

[Mr Shoubs]

Thanks for the options,

Does anyone know which order to look at these in suiting to my preferances, What Moutain bike gave the Mount Vision Bike of the Year which makes it sounds very sweet!

Dawg may be a little heavy, superlight sounds good. will check out he orange 5.
