I'm planning a big cycle tour (tour Aotearoa) and need to invest in a mountain bike for it (my hybrid won't handle the rough sections). I was looking at a Norco Charger A2, but then someone offered me a good condition Cube Aim SL for free. The frame is maybe a little small (I'm right at the top of the height range) and I've read some mediocre reviews, however you can't really beat free.
Do you think it would be worth investing to upgrade the fork and seat post on the cube or would I be better to go straight to something like a charger? There's not much available second hand because I live in a small town and need a small size frame.
