Thanks lalito
It's great to be out on a bike again after all these years
It's a Big 7 Alloy 100 from the Big.Seven series, I did look at the Matts 10-V & also the Matts 40-D, but I didn't like the colours.
It was a choice between the 100 & the 500, but the 500 was £849 the 100 was £550 although I got it for £500, which funnily enough was my maximum budget
The only visual difference between the 100 & the 500 is all the yellow on the 100 is green on the 500(my favourite colour !).
I plan to do downhill track stuff with some of my brothers mates, if I really enjoy it and keep at it for at least a year I will invest 1k - 2k on a really good full suspension bike, as the Big 7 is a hardtail(front suspension only).
