      Trek 7.3fx £350-450. Bulletproof hybrid but quite light with good quality fittings.

        I got a Btwin Riverside 5 I think. Cost about £200 and very good.

        The way I look at it is this, when it's so cheap you don't care it if it gets stolen, but even though it's cheap the quality is really excellent. They sell expensive bikes as well, but the frame appears to be the same, which is the main thing, just more gizmo's on it. This bike is great for trekking.
        I'm alright Jack

            Indeed....I checked on their website I could only see they listed the Riverside 7 which is the expensive one. Maybe they've phased out the 5. There was a 4 which I found too basic, which was even cheaper.

              I'm a big boy and I really like my Specialized Hard Rock, they don't break under the full weight of my lovin.


              Also you can get some nice second hand ones, bad paint job later and no one wants it!

              Get stuffed - D lock & Chain seem to help too.

                As I'm somewhat rotund and portley - it has to be strong.

                I'm off to Evans on Saturday to have a peddle round the car park.


                What are the main differences between a HYBRID and MTB?

                I'll mainly be using it on cycle routes and a little bit rough stuff in the woods - I want it to be robust enough to handle me and my packed lunch.

                  Is train plus bike doable?

                    Effectively, you get the speed and weight of a road bike, a better riding position, and the better control, and durability of a MTB

                    Bigger tyres than a road bike, less chunky than MTB

                      I'm grateful to the honourable contractor!
