Bumpty on this thread
I have bitten the bug myself getting into watching far to many trail rides on youtube , and looking at getting my first bike,
I have found quite a few new and second hand, below is what i can get locally, and looking at a hardtail to start with as full suspension is very expensive it seems,
1. Found a second hand Trek Roscoe 8 for 7k locally nearby, i presume its the 2018 model as it is in orange color which from what i found on the newer models you dont get it in orange, but its is in good cond it looks like but its a 2018 model.
2. Next is a 2022 Silverback Stride XS also in good cond for 11k,
3 . Marlin 7 from Trek currently on special for 13k new
Torn between above, as from what i have read all are great bikes, the roscoe more for being thrown around a track, but the Silverback is just newer model and tech, and the Marlin 7 brand new
If any of the wise MTB members would like to assist my decision here, or point me in the right way it would be appreciated.
Cheers
