Friend at work showed me this deal he is considering. Looks good to me but i already bought the target road bike for half the price.
================
Trying to decide between a weekend trail bike and a commuter? Get both in the one bike with the Reid X126.
Fresh for 2013 Reid Cycles are proud to introduce the X126 mountain bike. Designed around a lightweight 6061 alloy frame for a super responsive ride, the Reid X126 gives you confidence, control and versatility from forest trails to urban jungles.
The X126 is the product of a great amount of research all focused on delivering a tough, reliable bike loaded with quality parts at a very affordable price. Competitor bikes with similar specs are selling for well over $500.
Entry level suspension forks come with too many trade-offs in terms of reliability, weight and control. The choice was made to spec the X126 with unbreakable rigid forks to give customers an unbeatable ride at an incredible price.
Whether it’s a daily commute, a leisurely weekend ride or getting completely covered in mud - the X126 is a great fun bike to ride!
- Full Shimano Tourney 21 speed gearing system - very easy to use and ultra reliable
- Tektro brakes for superior braking power
- Durable 6061 alloy frame and forks
- VP Sealed bearing bottom bracket
- Kenda tyres for great grip and puncture protection
- Great 15 year warranty and 1 year free servicing(see below)
For extra peace of mind, all Reid Cycle bikes now come with a Lifetime warranty on frame & forks, 12 months warranty on parts, plus 12 months FREE brake and gear servicing.
for Shimano Tourney? Bollocks. Looks OK for the price though. Bonus points for rigid forks instead of bad shocks.
Spend more if you are riding regularly though.
