Thanks Rusty - good to know there is the chance to have a better look and maybe a ride on some of them. I have started looking a bit more closely at the Giant as well. Has a lot of good gear for the money and Torp 7 have reasonable sale price on the three Trance models at moment
I think I would be a medium. (Sort of between small and med with short legs but dont want to be cramped and most people go up a size rather than down)
What has your mate got - I'm a bit scared of 2nd hand but still consider it if it was right bike.
Hi Razor
I'm Tauranga so quite a lot of biking options within an hour or so. I'm keen as on the Merida but going totally by online info as they're not here yet so its great getting feedback like this thanks.
If I go with the eOne-Sixty 700, its a long wait - not due until Sept. Mad world aye...
Apologies if this sort of thing gets asked all the time but looking for advice/opinion on what bike to go for please....
