Hello folks,
My girlfriend and I are looking to purchase bikes for a new hobby. Neither of us will use them to commute so they will be used mainly for road/light off-road use. Our budget is around £400 per bike but we may be prepared to stretch a little higher as from my brief research (including skimming through some threads on here) that seems to be around the starting point for a decent bike. Even though they will be used once or twice a week, we don't want to buy cheap but on the same token, don't feel we can justify going up into the £500s and beyond.
I've listed a few below (most have women's versions). We need to go and see some in person, and get sized-up etc, which could be delayed for obvious reasons! Happy to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
