    I am looking to get into mountain biking and I want something cheap and cheerful to start off on
    I have a budget of around 350
    I also have some bikes for trade

    Anybody with any bikes that would suit me?

    What height are you? I've a trek 6500 slr for sale on adverts, it's a 19.5" frame. I'm 6 foot and it suits me great. It's a bit out of your budget, but it has a really good fork on it, which is a must for anyone getting into mtb'ing. While it is a bit over your budget, it might be worth considering increasing your budget by €70 to get a Rock Shox Reba fork with remote lockout...

    What price is it?
    I have a trek 3700 that I could trade against it if you would consider?

    I'm not looking to trade, thanks, I've too many bikes as it is! There's a small bit of wiggle room on the price too. Small!
