Hi guy's following my previous thread I am now after purchasing a bike; looking at the guides I look to be after a hybrid, I plan on doing most of my rides on disused railway lines converted to walking/cycling routes, I assume a hybrid would be suitable for this type of surface?
Secondly I have NO IDEA what on earth I am looking for, scouring the internet etc the bikes look much of a muchness and literally have no defining features. Being a student I am naturally quite skint, I can stretch to around £250ish, in this price range I assume Ill be looking for something second hand off ebay and the like? So I was wondering if you guy's would be so kind to point me out some decent bikes, I literally have no idea what I'm looking for (although I do like bikes that are white, ha).
Finally I have heard people say never buy team kits as you'll look like a bit of a ******! Is this correct? I really like the look of some of the team gear on eBay, and from what I can see its a bit cheaper than some of the generic gear being sold in the LBS', so what do you think?
Thanks a lot for your help, it is really appreciated!
