Specialized, Marin, Bianchi, Troger - help to choose

troger for me ,looks nice

Marin looks in good condition, as too do the original Manitou's.

Specialized looks in lovely condition too, and the ride quality of these is second to none.

I'd flip a coin to decide between the 2 of them.

As for the Troger, I know nowt about them. XTR M900 groupo is good, and depending on the price of the complete bike you could buy the Troger and sell the M900 stuff off to make some £££'s.

The Answer has some problem with the elastomer. Anyway I'd like to change the fork to a rigid one.

I like that one too...

The Troger costs about £215...

And You don't like the Bianchi, either?

I've got the Marin and the Bianchi...

I've changed the Manitou Answer to a rigid Cannondale Pepperoni, because the problems with the elastomer. (And I'd like to use the bike, for cyclocross races, for example. )

I'd like to ride with flat bars... only change the tires to Schwalbe CX Pro.

 

[marin man]

You really should not put drop bars on an mtb,you will look real silly if you do
