Replacing the Trance

It's time for a new bike as the Trance needs a new bearing and is rattling. the rear tyre is bald too. With sterling the way it is I was thinking about this from the UK, it looks like an amazing deal.

The tyres seem good, "Sure grip mountain bike tyres". Do you think they would be tubeless?

What do you think, I'm pretty new to MBT so would appreciate some input.
I think this is what we need to buy for winter training, Imagine how good we'd be by March or how dead we'd be!!!!!!!!!
"That thing only got 8/10. Although they handled well through the twisty stuff, the damping on the rear shock allegedly was not up to scratch and the bash guard fell apart!"
Im guessing if you bought any of those two bikes lol they would fall apart! im not even sure wether to comment like seriously or not as i dont know if you guys are being serious? im thinkin not?
If something did go wrong would Amazon be able to fix it? Where exactly are they?
They've a big shop in South America somewhere near Brazil..I always get the horn when I say Bra Zil...
Gerry Mac could fix them..have you seen his hack bike ? Holy jaysus , how he sleeps at night is beyond me!
Hes the Gordon Gecko of irish Cycling!
What's the problem with them Brett? bike snobbery has got out of hand. Ok, they ain't quite as good as a Yeti, but they are on par with base model giants. I'm sure they are more than up to our expectations. Not sure about Amazon's service hough. Might be worth looking at what Argos has.
Don't be put off by the brand that's a very versatile and dynamic machine, it's even suitable for leg measurement. And here was me, like and idiot, using a tape measure...

Welcome to EPIC...!!
Hang on guys, I am serious, that bike looks great, and like those Chinese lights you could replace it 15 times over for the price of a Trance.
