Hi all,
Firstly, sorry for doubling up a little bit with posts (I've asked other questions on here for guidance and it has landed me here).
I would like to buy my step-son (10 years old) a dirt jumper style bike (as he likes this frame type). This is where I need some suggestions... Basically I am after something that is around $700ish, disc brakes, front suspension fork, gears and some capabilities of doing a bit of easy XC (single track with some uphill).
I would like to buy local if possible so I can get the boy measured up properly, and therefore am limited to Norco, Specialized, GT, Malvern Star, Mongoose, Merida, Felt, Focus and Scott.
I went to one LBS today and they suggested a Specialized Slope (not sure which model) which was about $800, however I cannot find it online? Are there any other bikes in particular that are good value at around this price?
Looking forward to any suggestions you may have.
Cheers.
