Cant decide which mountain bike to get
Hey guys
Hope someone with bicycle knowledge could help me out. I thought I would buy a entry level mountain bike to get myself fitter. I've decieded to purchase a second hand bike off gumtree. The bikes I currently have my eyes on is the Giant Upland SE, GT Arrowhead, GT Aggressor and the GT Outpost Links below are of the bikes Arrowhead - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kewda...-gt/1023978534 Aggressor - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/canni...061/1022085669 Outpost - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kwina...ke-/1023150344 Upland - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/warnb...ke-/1024019538 I will only be riding to and from the local park, and maybe around the Perth city. No extreme off roading will be done, so dont want to spend a fortune on a bike. Just want a reliable bike that wont cost a fortune to fix things if things go wrong. Cheers Hai

Specialized are the trendy brand atm. You wont find a better complete bike , they are really on top of their game. To bad they got rid if Sam and replaced him with Gwin, that worked out really well for them.

Mate how tall are you?
The Gt Aggressor looks to be the best condition but is pretty tall. Look at the height of the top tube to the rear wheel. You need to be able to comfortably stand over the top tube so you have room for adjustment in seat height. Last two bikes look quite small. Fuck the first one off as it has a rusty stem already... accident looking for a place to happen. How often you gonna ride and approximately how many km? These are very casual use bikes if you know what i mean. Cheers.
