Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
damn, I nearly bought one of those back in the summer when they were reduced to 50%, but I really couldn't see me riding a HT.
If nothing else, they're almost worth buying to strip for the spares

Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
Thanks Weeksy. I ordered the second one.
It will replace the Charge Cooker I bought in 2016 from memory. I'm sure I bought that as you recommended it too.

Just in case you needed them.

Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
I'm much the same, don't use the one I have enough, but keep meaning to. However, at those prices (bought through my company so less VAT and pre-tax) I figured I'd probably even make a few quid by upgrading. And more like to use a sexy new one, right?Potter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:18 pmI almost couldn't resist, I sat squirming looking for excuses to buy one, but I still have an unused Trek X-Calibre 8 that I bought as a family bike because there was a good deal on, but it hasn't turned a wheel, so even though some of the bikes on that site seem like bargains I'd be buying something that wouldn't get used.
I do fancy a new Orange P7s, but again, the one I have now is like brand new because it hardly gets used.

Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
Mmmmm possibly... It apparently disappeared and reappeared earlier... but you're right, currently a 404.

Twelve hundred quid is a cheap bicycle now?

Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
Well when it's reduced to £500 it is
It depends what you class as a bicycle though i guess. £500 in Halfords/Decathlon gets you a commuter level cheap and cheerful thing, think like a super cheap Chinese motorbike.... This is more a Japanese CB500 i guess.
If you want something that isn't going to fall apart from the first time you take it on some dirt... you have to spend a few quid these days

I've been looking at the 'cheaper' end of the leccy bike MTB market, and even second hand it's just not justifiable for me.
A brand spanking quality Japanese 750 is £1500 cheaper.

Re: PSA stupid cheap mtb
Whilst i mostly agree with you. Think of that bike as being the Panigale R or the MV Agusta of MTBs, that's not an ordinary toy, that's straight out of the crate capable of winning high level National/International DH races.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:28 amBloody ridiculous price for a push iron.weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:17 amJust to scare you... this is what the boy races
