Spec me a bike

Goose · 29 Apr 2009 at 17:14

Im looking to get fit and thought a bike would be a good idea. I'd like a mountain bike although i dont plan on doing much serious off road stuff.

My budget is about as low as it gets (about £150) so spec away!

If i get into it i'll look to upgrade to something better but for now and for the purpose of just getting fit a cheapo bike should do.

Cheers.

£150 is too low for a MTB.

The cheapest bikes I would even consider buying are about £220

Hybrid bikes seem to be a bit cheaper, and if it's mainly on road riding with a bit of trail, should be fine, from the same site I found this at £180:
