What's the best retro mtb for me ?

[Gruff]

I would go with the Sunn Revolt 2 or the S Bike, though the Cannondale is nice also

But i love the look of that Votec, never come across them before

I think it will come down to which you prefer the look of to be honest

 

[Chapeau! Velo]

If it is in good condition - go for the Cannondale. It's a fairly rare bike in France and will be the envy of all your friends! Although the Sunn is pretty cool and will be bomb proof.

However, there are some excellent bikes going on here - especially the retro Konas and Oranges (never seen another Orange bike in France not owned by a Brit) and don't forget that shipping from the UK to France is quite reasonable and you could take advantage of the weak £ vs €

Sunn for me...very Kona like in the feel and ride, bomb proof too!

Canondale or sunn in my opinion. If it was me, I would get the canondale. Then, knowing my weak will power, probably get the sunn a week later too :roll:

Remove the bikes that do not fit you.
Then see which you like the look off.

Then if you need mudguards or bike racks, check you can fit them.

After that go for the one that you like the best.

Welcome to RB!

The S Bike is lovely and practical. The Cannondale looks good value, but beware of old worn out Headshoks - expensive to fix. The Votec looks amazing and I've never seen one before - interesting, but not the most practical for what you need.
The Sunn, if it fits, would get my vote. The Revolt was one up the range from the Xircuit , nice riding bikes.
Here's a link for more retroSunn info. Good luck!

One more vote for the Sunn for me. A very fine, practical bike for everyday use.
