Do I really need a MTB??

[Zoiders]

Get the Subway.

Get the Subway.

It takes MTB tyres as well because it's a rigid MTB.

I will be honest I say I hate most lumpy 700 wheel hybrids from the lower end of the ranges, the forks tend to be rubbish if they are suspension and they don't take a full size 2" off road tyre either.

In this instance what you do or don't like is irrelevant.

Don't be a twunt and make personal attacks.

It's the MTB section.

It's a cycling forum.

He's not. Mimixx said specifically that she doesn't like the subway. She's trying to make an informed choice, and you blunder in and say "Get the subway" We know it's a decent bike if that's what you like, but she says she doesn't.

Mimixx, have a look at Cube Nature range. They have some shorter travel forks designed to soak up bumps and buzz etc. If your budget will stretch the Curve is lovely. Comes in women specific design if you like it.

What is your budget? These are lovely, but dearer

oh my, welcome Cubist you have risen greatly into my estimate !

I LOVE Cube Bikes but there is a tiny particular, over my budget and none in stock (however irrelevant) but thank you very much for your impressive suggestion

Want to spend the least I can get away with! MAX 400 for a very nice looking bike!

As Cubist said the OP has specific requirements and has expressed disinterert in the Subway. For you to then say "get the Subway" is like saying your choices are stupid so listen to me.

No worries everyone we are just here to help each other, Im sure my threat made him realize I was serious about the bike called like a sandwich shop!

It was more the fact that I found your advice to be stupid if you want the actual answer as to what I think.

I was offering an honest opinion as I really do believe the OP would be best served without a hybrid.

He was being snidey and jumping on the band wagon as an excuse to have go, no need for that all.

I appreciate that Z but just so to remove any shadow of doubt to all readers who might have missed the hint

I never felt so strong about a bike like this before, I think I might need some counseling now.

So sorry to have offended you. Clearly somebody who rides mainly on roads with a little bit of gentle of road thrown in needs a MTB they don't like. Now it makes perfect sense.
