If you guys had about £500-600 to spend on an off-road bike, what would you do?
My girlfriend is looking for something within that budget, mostly just for occasional pootling around the trails in Epping forest with me - keeping both wheels on the ground kinda thing. Before @mmccarthy recommends the fully rigid Vitus, she's adamant on something with front suspension as she got on really well with my 26" hard tail in terms of stability and comfort.
I know sourcing something second hand would be the best bet, but I don't really have the time/patience/energy to hunt something down at the moment.
Any ideas?
