e mountain bike

Hi all, I'm from Tassie [Australia]. Registered so I can post up a review on my recent Dengfu purchase. I purchased a complete assembled bike, but it's dead on arrival. Will post some more detail on that in another forum area however thought I would give the seller 48 hours to at least...

From what I read in reviews you seem to be needing to spend £4-£5k minimum on a bike... That is however a lot of money so I only want to do this once (for now ?) I’ve listened to the guys at LBS but I do feel there’s an element of try and sell what you have in stock rather than what’s best...
