I've been riding a Genesis Core 20 (2011 model) for 18 months but have decided i want to buy a new bike as am planning a few big trips this summer. I'm looking to spend £1000 give or take, and have found a few bikes i like, but I'm stuck with the decision to go 29" or stay 26". I've read reviews for and against, at the moment i'm leaning for. Any comments? |

Of course you can compromise and wait a little longer for more 27B;s to come on stream ie scott is pushing this size bike. |
