Thinking of getting C2W scheme. Thinking a hybrid is best for me, as will use on road and coastal hills. Will be on road, but gravel cycle tracks, grassy sea front, small hills etc, so would like front suspension that has lock out.
Looking at no more than £700, as want to see how I go. Heard good and bad on Boardman, but can get from just about any bike shop now on C2W.
Wouldn't want too expensive anyway as would try and use to go short distances and lock up where I would normally use my car, and £700 is a LOT to me for a bike.
Would prefer to be light just for getting in/out of house as have to store inside, maybe if easy peasy to remove wheels for storing a bonus to.
Don't know what's good/bad, I know you can spend 000's on just gears for example, I don't need this just a basic bike really to try and get around more.
Also heard good/bad about certain shops to get from, is the build of it that important as long as you check it when get it for security etc?
Not knowing much about bikes is there much difference (£100 price wise), in the MTX 8.6 and 8.8?
Think some say Boardman are just halfords own brand, and slightly bad name? but in price range or cheaper anything else like them?
Thanks
