I live in Moscow (dirty, rude and corrupted city), but anyway, Im biggest fan of bikes, and Im learning street right now, I start learning street when bought my first bike, UMF Hardy #TEAM 2009, it was really big mistake - buying dirt bike with bad geometry, but when I was bought this bike, I didn't know which style Ill choose, Dirt, street or Trial.
Now finally I choose style - it will be only street, and second good news, I level Russia, and I will live in Spain half a year and I would like to buy a new bike to learn street ride style in there.
Unfortunately I will be far away from Barcelona and Madrid, and this makes some troubles buying good bike for street, because in place where I will live, selling only DH and Triathlon bikes.
So that's why, Ill need to buy bike here in Moscow.
But the prices for popular brands like Black Market, Eastern, Mutant bikes components, Inspired and others, are double or triple high then normal in Europe
Only bikes which are selling in here, it's NS Holy 1 for ~650 Euro, and UMF Hardy Steel #Team for ~950Euro, but my price for UMF, will be 770 Euro, because Im friend of person who selling bikes in shop.
And I was wondering if UMF Hardy Steel #TEAM, not so bad for Street and I can use it long time.
Its 26, very low weight I think, for 26 bike with 100mm fork, 2 brakes, heavy handlebar - 13.6kg.
