Help buying a new bike

L1ght · 20 Feb 2012 at 10:53

Ok so I need a new bicycle quite quickly as my current is basically dead. I wanted to go for a highbred as I am mostly a road cyclist but use my bike for commuting, although a road bike wouldn't totally be out of t he question.

I've found this cycle which doesn't seem too bad: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId_777701_langId_-1_categoryId_165534#tab0

My budget is around £700. If anyone has suggestions on any other bike I should go or whether this one is a good choice or not it would be really great. Cheers!

Cool thanks for the feedback guys. Theres this road bike variation aswell which I was looking at:http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_789253_langId_-1_categoryId_165710

I'm not sure whether I'd get on better with curled bars rover straight bars though, thats why I was looking at the hybred option. Any more suggestions? Thanks for the help so far

Hi guys my commute is basically roads and paved cycle paths. I wasn't specifically looking for discs, they just happened to be on the bike I was looking at. To be honest I'd rather V-brakes or whatever. If anyone could suggest any bikes around £600- £750 it would be really helpfull. Thanks for the input so far guys.

Hi again! Thanks for all the help. On weighing everything up I decided to go for my original choice, the Boardman Performance Team 2011-2012. Halfords currently have a £70 off and it swayed me lol.

I've got a free assembley and pickup after Saturday around 4pm. Will post a pick when I get her home
