I'm not going to argue. It "might" be marginally better. Might be a couple grams lighter. Not that it will actually make a difference in your riding.

But go ahead, spend your parents' money. It's not mine, so I don't give a damn.
the point in this thread is to find a better one so dont have a go at me, and as written above, i get no money from my parents.. i make maximum £20 a month so f*ck you

This thread has no point because the 2010 bikes aren't out yet, which makes your whole search pointless until they do come out.

And when they do, they will probably be available in a few different colors that weren't around last year, and might be a few grams lighter. Which, again, will make no f*cking difference. Go ride.

Dude, it's not going to be that much better.
it might be, or why would i start this thread, damn.

With the way used bikes are selling right now, you'd be lucky to have it sold by the end of the month. Realistically I would expect somewhere closer to 300 for it, not that there's anything wrong with the bike but in my experiences a 50-60% return is standard. Upgrading parts rarely means a whole hell of a lot, for the most parts upgraded parts will at best allow you to maintain the original value of the bike (sad but true).

So all things considered, I'd say you'd be very lucky to get 350-400 for the bike plus 150 from your bank account, so in the end you'd be trading an upgraded $500 bike for a stock $500 bike. In other words, unless you can somehow come up with a grip of cash to invest, you're basically just taking a step sideways or maybe even backwards. Ride the bike you're familiar with, you'll be a lot happier than picking up a new ride and not progressing as well because you may or may not get accustomed to the new bike in a short amount of time.

you get your permit at 16 but you cant drive yourself until you're seventeen and then you have to wait until you're seventeen and a half in order to drive relatives and then another six months until you can drive anyone

+1

I agree with the fact of riding with what you have.

Getting the 2010 ride that's 500g lighter won't make you huck whoppers any sooner then practicing on your current bike right now.
