Can't really go wrong with one of these.... I'm 6'3" and over 200lbs and have given the bike a fair bit of abuse, now I normally just ride along the board walk or on the beach. IMO 'Specialized' does make a good bike.

I ride a Felt hardtail. Mine was only £350 but has done me extremely well.

Hi treewisemen,

I hear your bikes are a bit like your yank cars, good at going in a straight line, but s**t round bends, is this true?

Bike's a bike isn't it? I thought they all went round bends pretty much the same. And my Yank truck does bends quite well also thankyou.

specialized alway seem popular and well built. i got a specialized big hit. which is a DH full susser so not ideal for XC as its so tirering pedaling against the suspension. but its well worth it for the fun. Have you considered getting a second hand one. decent bikes dont break that easily and parts are easily replaced.
