Hi,

Looking for a half decent hardtail bike in medium size and with 26 inch wheels please. Not too fussed on the brand but with some good components if possible. Disc brakes, rock shocks forks. £250 budget.

Cheers

Re:

I have a trek 8900 from 1998-2000ish.
It's an 18" aluminium hardtail, with marzocchi EXR fork, deore 1x9 transmission with chain guide and bash ring. It's running a front hydraulic disk brake, and an avid Single digit 5 rear V brake, due to the fact that the frame has a 22mm Hayes brake mount and an A2Z IS adaptor, but I tried a giant MPH rear brake and it wasn't a great setup, so I fitted the V brake for best results.
It's a great looking bike, but the paintwork on the frame is quite chipped, although I have matched the colour and touched it up to protect it.
I'd be looking for £200 ONO.
