Hi,
I've been reading loads about bikes for weeks trying to work out which bike to get but don't seem to be getting any further forward in making a decision so thought i'd take the plunge and post to you guys.
I've just moved to north devon and would like to get a bike mainly for the road, 90% of the time, but also for a few trails. i'm looking for a hard tail really but any suspension i'd rather could be turned off if it's on the front wheel only. whilst i would like some off road capabilities i would like to be able to cover good ground on normal roads. i'm 6'2'' and in fairly good shape.
Any ideas please on what's good now? i'm more than happy to go for 09 stock - i like a bargain. i've looked at merlin malt 1 - but is that too much of a mountain bike, a focus northern lite - again is it too much of a mountain bike, a scott sub 20, a cube overland, Cube LTD CLS Pro, felt qx 80, decathlon rockrider 8.1, trek 7500 hybrid, Trek 2009 7.5 FX Hybrid Bike,
There's so many choices i'm really confused - any help would be truly appreciated so i can get outside and get riding asap.
Thanks
