    Buying moutain bikes online

    I know there are some keen MTB'rs around here, so does anyone know any decent places on-line to get some good deals?

    (I'm looking to spend around the £1000 mark, and looking at the Specialized FSR range)

    Cheers

    Have heard good things about:

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/
    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/default.aspx?ReferID=

    Though I'm sure there will be some more knowledgeable MTB'ers along shortly.

    Have a look at evans cycles, they have got very good customer service, and there not just an online retailer there are a few shops dotted up and down the country, and when I was looking for my bike a few years ago at the time they seem to be very competitive on price.

    Get your sizing right!! You can't beat riding a bike around the carpark and standing over the toptube to get your sizing right.

    Best to try a few out tbh. Evans have alot of shops in London if you are near although don't discount your local Specialized stockist they maybe able to do you a deal.
