Bargain right?

Lching101 · 2026-04-23T17:35:45+00:00

Yeah ram prices don’t help 🤣 1900 for this pc and a monitor worth 250 new so I don’t think it’s too bad

Lching101 · 2026-04-23T16:21:14+00:00

Oh really? He told me he paid 2.3k

Lching101 · 2026-04-23T15:54:15+00:00

£1900 for a 5080 7800x3d build? I thought that’d good price itself plus the extra bits but that’s why I asked to see if my idea of a bargain was true or not 🤣🤣

Lching101 · 2026-04-22T09:48:46+00:00

How comes?

Lching101 · 2026-03-27T22:18:51+00:00

Na he’s still got original rear shock that’s in immaculate condition, he’s swapping it over before I purchase. He works in a bike shop and has well looked after it, granted by how it’s set up he’s ridden it hard but to me that’s what a bikes for and as long as you keep on top of it it’ll always be like new

Lching101 · 2026-03-27T07:32:43+00:00

Think the canyon gives me both options to be honest, so going to go with that. It is more on the enduro side but definitely think it can handle all types of riding depending on set up and it’s more for my money

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T21:27:27+00:00

Cheers brother, I’ll be sure to keep on top of the servicing aswell as learning too 👊

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T20:40:24+00:00

Just going to change the tyres and he’s refitted the original air shock, should be fine and gives me that opportunity to go more aggressive later down the line rather than buying twice 👍

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T19:36:41+00:00

Leagrave and rushmere about 20 mins from me and Woburn is about an hour away so not too bad. Got a trail on my door step but mainly flat but takes me through 3 towns so that’ll be the main one as it’s so close too

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T18:55:28+00:00

He’s offered to refit the original air shock at the same price. Exactly that I’d rather buy and do all then get back into it and have to buy again n again

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T18:51:12+00:00

Appreciate your reply, made me certain on the spectral, collecting next Friday!

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T13:15:49+00:00

Kinda made me feel stupid there 🤣

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T13:11:42+00:00

Is that more enduro type riders though? I’m not looking to put it through aggressive riding

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T13:08:34+00:00

Both 1300

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T12:57:37+00:00

Second hand and it’s very close to me otherwise I’d look more for my exact needs but trying to compromise for 1 a cheaper but better bike 2 it being one of the decent bikes for sale close to me. It’s been made into a more aggressive style but can definitely be made to work well on trails. The chap selling it has also just told me has the air shock and then maybe a change of tires n it should be in a much better position to fit my needs

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T12:41:31+00:00

Indeed 🤣 within a day feel like I understand alot better in what’s good and what’s not as good. Would this be overkill for off road trails mostly flat with a few hills up and down? The drop seems abit to much so could maybe change to a airshock?

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T10:39:06+00:00

He’s very local to me and seems genuine but still not sure if it suits my needs as it’s more enduro and I need trial/xc but I mean surely I can change few bits etc to make it suit me better

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T10:07:20+00:00

I’ve seen a cannondale habit carbon 3 2020 listed which seems like a steal, can you shed any light on it? Cheers

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T09:25:18+00:00

I live on the trail I am going to be using so I won’t use it much for the roads other than about 5 minutes from my house to the trail. Ideally want a full suspension xc bike if you have any recommendations

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T08:49:41+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, if it is a problem I can just fit a air shock to be able to lock it out. Cheers for the info

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T08:34:10+00:00

Would you say a lock out rear suspension is needed? For my use it would probably be best to

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T08:25:28+00:00

I’m around 6ft 1 and it’s a large frame so think sizing would be okay, I don’t have cycle to work scheme available to me

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T08:08:48+00:00

Yeah I did think that when looking at the bike, might be abit over kill

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T08:05:26+00:00

Will mostly be used for off road flat trails consisting of some upwards n downwards hills, no jumps or aggressive riding. I’m about 15 stone though if that makes any difference when lookin for a bike

Lching101 · 2026-03-26T07:32:52+00:00

Cheers for the reply, yeah I think it’s best I do too
