Al_Fel Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Right boys i'm fat and I want to loose about a stone or the best part of asap. I'm thinking of getting a normal bike and riding it pretty long distances. I don't want a road bike because i'm too fat for one of them and would probably fold the wheels. So i'm looking for a hardtail xc bike for about £150ish I'd like to get a new one because I'd rather not go for second hand and have to deal with bad jock mechanics f**k ups on the bike.Right so i'm sure some of you are still in touch with normal bikes what are your suggestions?I'm not too fussed about front suspension just want something cheap and cheerful thats pretty good value.

JonCongreve Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Saracen Rufftrax 3 is good value for money, but that's at just under £200...Halfords Can't really think of any decent xc bikes for around £150, i'm sure others will be able to help.

Tony Harrison Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Alan, get a Marin or Giant from Winstanleys. Go up there and you'll find something you like.Still using the gym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Alan, get a Marin or Giant from Winstanleys. Go up there and you'll find something you like.Still using the gym?I agree with that, but i wouldn't go to winstanleys! I'd go to Alans, they do the MTB's, but unlike winno's, they actually care about customers. Winstanleys have gone down the pan, there are just tooo many complaints amonst the forums about bad service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
