Definately. Hardrocks are pretty rubbish really. Especially when the Rockhoppers start just udner the £500 mark.

May as well try and sell it. Even if someone just needs a commuter and you only get half of that for it, your still £25 closer to the new bike!

hehe maybe.. seeing how much i can get for some stuff atm, Waiting for a price check on a Sega Dreamcast

Thanks for all the help guys.. im now actually thinking about that Merlin

Looks a great bike. Anyone riden one here?

Breamy · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:39

ye i have my m8s got one but with slightly different spec.

syke · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:41

it good?

Breamy · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:42

very. the geometry is very nice and its very light and with that frame it really cant be beaten for £400

i would buy a merlin if i was buying a bike between £400 and about £800 but i had more to spend but i seriously considered it

syke · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:44

ok cool.. might get that.. you ordered off that website before?

bcjames · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:46

Merlin is the only place you can get Merlins

They are a good retailer, reputable.

syke · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:47

Well..once i get the money, i think ill be getting that

Now i just need some more money

Breamy · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:57

syke · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:58

Breamy · 26 Mar 2006 at 19:02
