Hey... I know people probably ask this kinda question all the time but... I am in the market for a beginners bike.. Looking to spend around £300. So far after some investigation I have narrowed it down to a Specialized Hardrock or a Giant Yukon... Any opinions??? Whichever one fits the best. JD |

I *don't* recommend MTBR.com. I used to haunt MTBR before the fools rushed in. The prices asked for beaten-up bikes are just unbelievable. And frames? C'mon people! It's just insane. The prices are 2x to 3x reasonable (read: eBay) Eh, I wasn't suggesting to buy anything on www.mtbr.com but merely suggesting to check out the reviews of the bikes in question. James didn't ask were to buy but for other peoples experiences with the bikes. Kind regards Bruno |

I work in a shop that sells Raleigh and Giant,along with about 10 other brands. While Raleigh does give excellent bang for the buck, Giant sometimes does them one better. We've even had reps that peddle other brands come in and get pretty impressed with the spec on some Giant models. Barry |

Actually, I don't know of any manufacturer, including Raleigh, that come with kickstands, you always have to purchase them aftermarket, as I did with my Raleigh, it did not come with one. Then there are those that don't get kickstands at all, so they can just throw their bikes on the ground like kids in the ghetto do. |
