hello all, i've just joined the forum tonight looking for some advice:
i'm looking to buy a bike through the cycle scheme in january. but i haven't owned a bike for about 30 years. i did run a lot to keep fit, but ankle and knee problems have virtually stopped that altogether. i'm wanting something to keep fit on. i would say majority of cycling would be on road, but also some paths/tracks. top road speed is not that important. more a smooth and comfortable ride. i guess i'm looking at a hybrid. my budget is around £800. to begin with i've looked at:
marins
san anselmo deore £649
san anselmo alfine £849
sausilito £799
treks
soho £800
7.5fx £600
7.6fx £850
7500 £600
7700 £850
i quite like the look of the sausilito
any comments, advice would be appreciated
or, are there any other recommendations
