I haven't had a lot to do with haro, or suntour, but good to have shimano components and hydraulic brakes are a bonus at that price, although maintenance can be a bitch!

Steer clear of kmart type bikes and heavier type free ride bikes if your going to be riding on the street a bit. Id be looking for something that's XC and second hand with decent components for that money.I've got a Norco Saskwatch that's great for free ride but a bitch on the street as its heavy and only as 2 front gears.Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77773-bike-riding-thread/page/2/#findComment-1160836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 8m 25d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 18/11/11 01:44 AM Share Posted 18/11/11 01:44 AM Cannondale Hardtail Trail.. Great for around town if you want something with fat tires and brilliant off the roads.. Not ideal for 40km rides though.. Found that out the painful way (Stupid ride a bike to work day).. Now have an Avanti Sprint for road use.. Constantly gets punctures around here so get something with a decent amount of treat.

I don't like Apollo (Personal Preference).. But the Cannondale Trail and Hardrock sports are both excellent pieces of equipment.
