Feel a little jelly-like in the leg department after along winter hibernation?
Well get on board this delightful specimen and you'll be pumping your own Iron Springs in no time.
Marin's Alloy HT series combines off road durability with performance componentry for active riders. Lightweight, butted 6000 series Edge 3 tubing is mated to a more comfortable Marin Sport geometry, placing riders in a more upright riding position to enjoy both the scenery and the trails.
29ers have been hooge in Europe for nearly 10 years. Over the past 3-4 they've finally come on here in Oz. And for very good reason....
THEY WORK!
If you haven't experienced a big 29 under your cheeks we're sorry. Sorry you've been missing out on the joy of rolling over obstacles you would normally hop or lift at. The sheer sense of speed on long sections is unmatched, and thanks to Mal Adjsuted you can get the feeling on a budget.
Not everyone who cycles, races. We don't all dress in logo-clad lycra, we don't all sit atop carbon fibre wow mobiles.
In fact, most of us just ride. And we just want a capable, reliable bike with which to do so.
If you're ready to progress to some basic off road riding, and you don't want/need to blow thousands, then check out this hottie offered by Tippos Cycles.
I Chihuahua, senor! Uno momento, per favore. We're off to Durango in search of Tequila, Tacos and senoritas!!
And we're traveling in style, aboard our trusty steed, the Jamis Durango 2.0 from The Bike Shack.
And we saved enough pesos to buy a truck load of Cerveza for the trip home.
We hear there is uno Durango left in 19" so get on the train to The Bike Shack ASAP!!! Adios!
Frame
One of THE most iconic names in mountain biking, 'Stumpjumper', is Specialized's heart and soul. And has been for decades on end.
Built as a ready to go XC racer, the 2011 Stumpy is finely tuned with primo gear and spot on geometry. Just get on and race!
Jumping for joy!
For this Ex-demo in brilliant condition, it appears that last stump was just too much and $1,000 has been ripped off in the process.
Thanks to Drift Bikes, you've got no excuse to get out there.
Thunderbirds are indeed GO! They're literally taking off from the showroom floor at Drift Bikes, and it's little wonder.
This is a primo treadly, worth every cent at full whack. But the killer crew at Drift have nearly halved that price.
$800 is almost an insult, but if you want to work with International Rescue then you'll need one of these - before they all take off.
Frame: Eastern Night train Frame, Full 4130 Chromoly, Monocoque Chainstays, 135mm spacing and Disc brake tabs
This is one seriously hairy deal, folks.
THE BC legend is back and and is hungry for action. Norco Shore hardtails have always been the benchmark for aggressive hardtail riding, and now the brave hunters at Drift Bikes have tracked the beast down.
Right down to $700 in fact!
That's correct - Was $1,249 - now caged and furious at only $700!!!
I'd take a tranquilizer along if I were you.....

All aboard the adventure train with Tippos Cycles. They've got you booked on a trip that quite frankly could take you anywhere - not just Katmandu.
But you'll atop the worthy Norco Katmandu to get you there...wherever that may be.
Just made for these epic little excursions where feet just don't cut it, the Norco Katmandu is a blend of comfortable yet responsive geometry, married to trusty components from SRAM, Truvativ and Tektro to name a few.
Roar, scratch, meow, woof..whatever. The hairy blokes @ Tippos Cycles have been watching to many Sci Fi flicks we think...
And it's clearly affected them in a profound way. You don't just decide to slash a bike of this pedigree by over 50% then roll over and go to sleep.
That Tippo - he's a shifty bugger sometimes. Been known to lurk around alley ways in a trenchcoat on misty evenings. We've met a few people who say he's cornered them and Felt them up a bit. Cheeky sod!
The thing is these 'victims' actually enjoyed it. Reckons they'd go back to get Felt up by Tippo time and time again.
So, being curious we took a trip to Tippo's Cycles and sure enough they were right.
Hungry, kids?
Plate of Mud Monkey sound enticing?
Sit down, shut up, and tuck into this tasty morsel from The Bike Shack.
Come on - get down and dirty and don't spare the horses. This is one coool entry level XC bike that is killer at full price.
Now with the deal on plate from The Bike Shack you'll have room for seconds....and thirds...and....
Frame
Even Bear Grylls would think twice about this beast. Sure he can suck the life from tribal woman, and dominate most hair-chested ball carriers, but we don't think he'd stand a chance against this deal.
Geometry to jump, to scale, to rock - is what this puppy is about. Solid, flickable and reliable, the Jamis Komodo is a bike that gives you balls. Fear no one upon it's shiney back, kids.
Now listen up........
Square heads unite, for it's time to celebrate CUBE!
Not that stupid coloured puzzle that is responsible for institutionalising people.
This Cube is life giving. Liberating. It offers the power to explore hidden corners of brown and green.
A relative new comer to our shores, Cube have been tweaking frame design and adding precision parts to give Europe the prime cut. Now these Square heads are here on our sand and aren't we happy!
People of the lovely sex. You don't shop in Lowes for your outfits. You don't buy your shoes from the Big Mans store. So why put up with a frame designed for the cave man in the bed next to you?
Just as your personal requirements differ from that of Thag's, so too do your fitment needs on the right bike.
Jamis designed the Dakota as part of their Femme range - specifically engineered to give you ladies a better ride in comfort, whilst enhancing performance.
Wow this is a tidy package - not to mention the MASSIVE savings.
In 2009 the Jamis Durango 1.0 was considered one of the best value v's performance hardtails in the sub $1,000 range. Triple butted tubing, revised fork stanchions and 20mm more travel that the previous year, and a smattering of quality from Shimano, WTB and Tektro made this one desirable aggressive trail whacker.
Feet together, arms by your side and don't move a muscle....

One - and one only - generous helping of the Cube Attention hardtail. This all you need to survive in the field, no matter your assignment.

Some drive Ferrari's, some Porche's, others may choose big flashy speed boats. Can you guess?
We're talking about over-compensating here people.
Penis in red on wheels makes up for little footy frank tucked in y-fronts.....with us?
So what's the deal with 29" wheels on a MTB that seemed adequate in 26" guise? Are owners of big wheels akin to the 911 drivers of little boy land? We'll ponder that, but in this case we think you might be well advised to take a closer look at this category - no matter how you hang.
