Check the Evans thread for actual decent deals. £379 gets you a great light bike. The only positive here was hydraulic brakes .
Ebay jobs better than this one can be had for less than £100 if you research well. (edited)
I've modded mine over the years but kept the (good condition) original components so it can allways be returned to factory standard.
Shame it's from the UK's worst retailer.
If you've got a branch of Evans Cycles (who are also owned by Mike Ashley and will offer exactly the same lack of service once they've got your money and handed the bike over) get it from them to save the £20 delivery charge and get it built. But don't take it back to them for servicing - learn to do it yourself or find a reputable local bike shop. (edited)
Word of caution though :-
Mine came boxed and unbuilt but easy to assemble - Everything went great until i tested out the gears on the road.
Unfortunately the highs and lows stop on the rears derailleur weren't correctly set so i shifted up to 1st gear and the chain came off into the spokes and jammed up - I guess it's my own fault for not checking this.
So before riding make sure you check on youtube how to adjust these stops or go to a shop and get done professionally as it's a nightmare to adjust without a workshop stand. (edited)
Might as well buy the, also heavy, GT Dakar for £200 via ebay.
Edit - forget that, it is ultra heavy steel. (edited)
It's a Dakar GT, not. GT Dakar.
Frame isn't a good shape if you want a big battery, and tuck away the controller and all the cables.
Don't think GT are a good brand anymore?
My first ebike conversion was on a basic £200 bike, it's done nearly 5,000 miles.
The latest was on a Giant Escape 2 City. Fantastic bike, £700, and another £800 again to convert, 1,300 miles on that and counting.
Both are rear wheel motors
The weight of a bike can actually help you get fitter the heavier it is, which lets face it most people use a bike for these benefits.
Weight is just used as a marketing tool to get people to buy more expensive options.
Obviously i'm referring to everyday cycling and not semi pro / pro cycling where speed IS important. (edited)
Intelligent comment IMHO
True story:
An obese lad asked assistant; I like this red bike but how heavy is it?
Assistant replied: 15kg
Lad said: Ermm, nahhh that's too heavy, I will be riding up hill sometimes...do you have anything similar for same price but lighter; say around 12 or 13kg?
Go figure :/ (edited)
They were sold out years ago.
The original £550 price seems ridiculous to me. It looks like a £350-400 bike at best and £250 is great value but a basic tourney/altus drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes are a bit ridiculous on a £550 bike.
Ride is nice and comfortable off road with the suspension and big tyres smoothing everything out.
It makes me feel like a kid again as it feels quite big like a 'Raleigh Bomber' from back in the 80's.
Honestly there is nothing i don't like about this bike at the price and i'm a cynical, miserable so and so and angry at God for blowing down my fences in the latest storms ....Grrrrr !
...But seriously if you can get this bike at £250-£300 delivered i believe you have a bargain.
But this is just my opinion. (edited)
bought a M for my son from Evans West End London and liked it so much bought a L from Wimbledon.
The staff at both were surprised at the low price.
Bought for £250 each ready built so saved on postage
Still a S and M in Wimbledon branch.
Proper work these bikes are. Nope, I still haven't a clue what this is supposed to convey.
Also £550 ? With brakes from the 90s .
I actually enjoyed a Diamond Back from the 90s better without suspension etc.
Regarding weigh, My MTB list price was 1400ish when it was released and that's around 13kg (FS) so I wouldn't say 14Kg was massively heavy as some users are suggesting.
Can you get sub 10Kg bikes, why yes, I have one that's 9.6Kg but and there's a few buts...
It's a CX - therefore has no weighty suspension
It's carbon Fibre
Was about 1800 iirc (in 2017)
I'm up and running for now with a bit of damage to the hanger, but just looked on Amazon and could get a replacement Tourney for £13 if it cause any issues.
