New to this group but have been lurking around trying to pick up some info. I am an active
bushwalker and our club has a sub group of bike enthusiasts who basically have stuffed knees etc
from bushwalking and are keeping active with bike riding. They are a great group of people and have
some real interesting rides I would like to participate in. Most rides are around 50 to 100k and
all use mountain or hybrid type bikes. The rides where possible are on quite country roads or fire
trails etc. Nothing speedy but also nothing real radical. I,ve been looking at second hand bikes
etc but haven't found much to interest me yet....I've discovered to look for brands starting with
"G" until today. Rebel Sports are having a 25% off sale on Ironhorse Bikes. A friend bought one and
is very happy with it....unfortunately I can't remember the model number but it was a pretty
yellow, with front suspension and a 21.5" frame (I'm about the same height/weight) RRP was about
$700 and he got it for about $540. This would be my top price to pay for a bike...Any pro/cons if
this is a good/bad buy and good/bad bike. It won't be for serious bushbashing...probably 75%
bitumen 25% dirt. thanks
PS...I think this may have been the bike, but not sure http://www.ironhorsebikes.com
