mythical bike!

bopbuddy

hi everyone
i am looking to get a mountain bike thats got disc breaks, dual suspension (adjustable) and is light(ish)
anyone got any suggestions... does this mythical bike even exist and if so about how much would i be paying!?
thanks for any suggestions even if they are telling me i am off my rocker!
i won't be able to respond to any replys until tomorrow

They definately exsist, you'd be looking at €1000 minimum with about €1500+ for a good one. Every manufacturer has bikes in this range, you will have a huge amount to choose from.

thanks for the reply

i only have about 350-400 to spend so i'd say this takes into the mythical bike category!

You're in the decent entry level MTB catagory there. Something like this:

You will not get a decent full suspension bike in this price range, any of them will be heavy, badly made and dangerous off road.

Have a look at adverts.ie and the Irish mtb sites (madmtb.com, epicmtb.com mtbireland.com etc) in the buy and sell forums too you might find something.
DON'T get a dual sus at that price, you'll regret it!
