Right, decided i'm getting a bike, narrowed it down to a few, wondering if people could have a look at the specs, and give their opinions?

I'm going to buy from Sunset mtb as they offer 0% finance, and the rents have agreed to put a wedge down for the deposit, reducing the monthly payments.

I'm going for a 17 or 18inch frame.

Anyways...

Kona Blast Deluxe 09 £499

http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/shop/index.php?product_id=1103&category_id=3

Orange G2 (different fork options???) £595 - 735

http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/shop/index.php?product_id=1168&category_id=3

Kona Cinder Cone £599

http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/shop/index.php?product_id=1105&category_id=20

GT Avalanche 2.0 £449

http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/shop/index.php?product_id=1087&category_id=22

What do you guys think?

Cheers.

Out of them I'd go for any of the Kona's.

Whats the advantages of paying an extra £100 on the Cindercone over the Blast?

Cheers for the input.
