Hello from Yorkshire.

[Bryan McDonald]

Hello, I have been out of cycling for a long long time, but I have now just today gone and bought a new bike.
Its really just for fitness and fun, but if it gets me back down to a reasonable waits size that's going to be fine with me.
So hopefully I will become an active member and be fit for life.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Hi and Bryan.

What bike did you go for?

 

[Bryan McDonald]

One of those Trek 7.4 bikes. Looked at Halfords, thought they had some good bikes but price wise there was really no difference for what I was after. Then I also went to specialized four or five times and looked at a crosstrail and a couple of others. Felt like they had the monopoly here in Harrogate which was a slight put off for me. Went to a couple of independent locals, both of them have bikes in the £300 to £400 level but the state of the shops and display of the bikes ( just in a pile ) so for that sort or money I did not expect to have to extract my new bike from the heap. But a new shop just opened down the road, brilliant and clean selling Trek and Whyte bikes. It's a established firm with shops in other towns nearby. So decision to make disks or v brake, solid or suspension forks. Quite simple really not doing any really rough stuff, want light weight and wanted a bit of speed if I ever get fit.
