  Looks like a great price. I used one once 3 years ago (rented) for riding in the Italian Dolomites and it was a great bike, so voted hot!

  5% quidco too.
  
  a lot of the 2007 models will start to be sold off over the next few months. Best to keep a look out for any deals like this...

  Not 5% at dales, only at Evans, and the Evans deal still works out more expensive than the Dales one.
  
  I actually just bought this deal on thursday lol, waiting on delivery.
  My mate bought the Silver one for £400 not that long ago, so he was happy that its £330 now.
  I used to have a Rockhopper years ago, and my bikes take a hammering but that bike handled it all easy. This bike will no doubt follow it on well.
  
  If you order the bike make sure you get the Hydraulic disc one, as the Cable and Hydraulic versions are the same price.
  Hydraulics always better.
  
  The brakes felt a bit spongy, but he's not bedded in the discs yet so i'l see how good they are. I have an old front Hope XC pro so can swap that over anyway.
  The RST forks felt quite decent too, never been a fan of them but the whole set-up felt quite good.
  
  Also, with it you get lifetime Frame warranty, and 1yr parts warranty.

  I think any brakes will beat my old V block brakes on a dented wheel..........

  Bit of a random question but here goes!
  
  Anyone know roughly how much it's costs to take a bike on a long haul flight? I may be working abroad soon and a bike would be useful to me!

  fox unless it's a long stay not really worth it.
  
  plenty of travelling forums etc out there will tell you, I expect it's in the 3figures though.

  gumtree possibly?

• 
  fox5 years, 9 months ago #11Show comment toolsReply

  Cayman Brac (hopefully), so I don't really want to shell out for a car when a bike will do, just won't be able to get a decent one once I'm out there! I'll have a look at gumtree, see what I can find.
  
  Thanks

  £15 with stellios if they fly to where you wanna go.
  
  Also would want decent insurance to protect against damage
  
  And you'd need to spend at least 1h wrapping it in bubble wrap + duck tape and probablybits of cardboard.

  Could be worth a pop!

  Erm if you can tell us what Airline you will be travelling with, then it should be easy enough to work out.
  Or even what country, and we can maybe figure out the most likely carrier/costs.
  
  I went to Canada about 6/7 years ago and it was a very small fee if any, and only requirement was it was in a decent box.
  
  This site may help a bit

  Bought this bike last year, nice and solid, but weighs a ton. The equvilent Trek offerings are more fun IMO.
  
  All the bike shops will soon be knocking £50-£100 off the retail price of this years models, a good time to shop around.

  I'd be going to Cayman Brac (Caribbean) most probably via BA, I've had a look on their website and it looks like it may be free (I really doubt this though!).

  Looks free as long as you watch the weight

  Voted HOT!
  
  Extremely good price for the Hydraulic Disc version.
  
  I've just upgraded from a 2004 Hardrock cable disk model, a very good bike that has served our family well. At this price point I don't think you'll find a better specced bike (also I wouldn't say it's heavy for a front suspension bike - I can heft it over 6 bar gates on the local tracks no problem - although I am over 6ft but am getting old and slightly decrepit :-D )

  I was looking at a Giant xtc 4.5 for about £400. Is the Specialized a better bike?
