What made you happy today?

[Spudly]

yer, i honestly couldnt see the reason for spending that kinda extra money on a pedal bike, it was only being used for riding around the streets, maybe it has some part in downhill racing but how many people use them for that, proberly the same percentage of people that use 4x4's off road

Best not tell you that ive just spent nearly £90 on a bike i only want the frame from, or that one of the bikes in my room i paid £250 for last year and have spent about £200 upgrading it afterwards


I couldnt ride a cheapo crap bike ever, i ride mine as often as possible and take them offroad wherever possible!


Stuart iirc KHS were always understated bikes, well made, good frames and well specced too

It feels so good cycling an expensive bike

My fave of my bikes is my 1998 caldera, was about £900 new, rides soooo well

Also, a grand really really is not a lot for a bike

Same principal applies though..... They both do 'similar things' but very very differently.

I'll have about 3-400 to spend. prob best going for second hand i reckon, but i'm too out of touch with bikes to know whats "good" anymore. Ps i'm fat and middle aged so won't be doing ay sort of mad stuff

[Stuart]

Tbh you'd be fine on a specialised hardrock (hydraulic discs), I know I said I've found limitations on it, but that's partly due to the wrong size more than anything.

ask spudly where he buys his extra wide bike seats sounds like you need one to
