And now, Downhillat50, did you ride it enough to have an opinion?
And, of course, how much costs all upgrades, if you can estimate...
I am between this Mongoose, which have horrible equipment but its cheaper like hell and in the winter time i can upgrade-it how i wish and a Cube Curve Pro which dont need any upgrade

Hi there, well i gave the bike to my son in law, i personally spent around 250 pounds including 115 buying the bike which was a shop return, my son in law spent another 200 on it and the bike has a single ring, truvativ bb and cranks which lowered the bulk , it has shimano hydraulic brakes and is very lightweight now, he loves it ...
Myself i rode it for about 2 months and it didnt suit my riding style, hence the reason i gifted it to him
TBH the spec on this bike would equate to buying a bike around the 700 pound mark so it was worth doing , but having the bike just confirmed to me that i dont like 29ers and wouldnt consider buying one again.

Hope that helps you.

Yes i rode it for a couple of months, couldnt get with it though, the only time i really enjoyed it was riding it home off the rough stuff, it handled fine but i found it twitchy in the real rough stuff, easier to get it up to speed than my 26er but overall find the smaller wheeled bikes easier to control,
