LoopyLing Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 LGG your C16 is beeeaaaaaautiful. Love the forks I have recently taken delivery of an 08 Tarmac, Carbon Frame, post and forks, 10 speed Ultegra / 105 mix. Had some horrendous Shimano OEM wheelset on it which i quickly swapped for my Mavic Aksium training wheels which are sooo comfy in comparison! On the look out for something deep and carbon to race on. Please excuse my disco slippers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 So, in terms of hard tail MTB's, what companies are good nowadays?I've had Marin's and GT's in the past, and I've been promising myself a new Kona for about 8 years now, but as I've been out of the bike loop for some time I've no idea who make good stuff now.I've had a look at all the websites and to be honest I can't even find a colour I like, the Kona Cinder Cone is about the only one. I still ride my bike occasionally, but its feeling a bit ropey, its got Rock Shox Quadra 21R's and they are in dire need of some sort of service. I would ride to work, but never feel safe around Dudley riding. When we move I'm planning on using the car far less and treating myself to a decent bike so I can ride everywhere instead.What is light for a hard tail now? And what kind of money do you have to spend to get something reasonably light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 My friend has recently bought a Cotic - Souland I have to say it is a fantastic ride very responsive I'm 5ft10 and find the top tube just the right length so I can pop the front end for drops and things while freeriding but its not so short that I catch my knees when climbingHowever its hard with mountain bikes because what suits one person will more than likely not suit anotherfor exmaple I'd rather run the Cotic - Simple as ride with single speed and use rigid forks basically because i love the low maintenance simplicity all i have to do is look after the brakes and bearingsCotic only sell the frame so you can custom build the rest of the bike around the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what kind of money do you have to spend to get something reasonably light?Quadra 21's are sooo retro. I wouldn't look into getting them serviced, they won't preform anything near as well as even a budget modern suspension fork.Giant, Scott, Specialized & Trek all make good hardtails to suit any wallet. Light I'd say would be under 25lb?? Obviously depends how much you spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
