Hi all,
Not a total beginner as I have had mtb in the past and still do (Claud Butler olympus), however I have not been out for that long I may as well assume I start from scratch!
The reason I have not really been out much the past is simply lack of motivation to do so as I would only get out on occasional sunny days with the Mrs. However a group of friends have started to get into it over the last 6 months and I've started going out with them, however the mtb doesn't really cut it alongside their Whyte Saxon cross 2014's etc.
So the big question... I'm 19 stone 11 and 6"2 wanting (probably) a cyc/cross/hybrid or something I can use both road and gravel track etc. But not pure mountain territory.
Can you help me with some suggestions I can start reviewing as this space a minefield with much choice and no clear obvious answers.
My budget is 1k GBP but could go over for the right bike.
Thanks.
