Hello!
I'm 5' 7" tall and my leg length is 32", so I think that I need a 18" frame hybrid bike. I want it mainly for leisure, riding around the city and by the park paths. I live in Kingston, next to Bushy Park and Richmond Park. I imagine I would ride often by there. Taking that into account I think the bycicle type that suits me the most is the hybrid / hybrid-mountain bike, doesn't it?
I have been reading a lot, and surfing the net looking for the best bike I can afford (my budget is around £200). I know with this budget I won't be able to acquire a great bike, but for now it's ok if I can buy a decent one for this price. I have been looking many websites and found some good offers but most of them were above the size I need.
Do you think that this Viking Notting Hill bike can be the best one I could find for £215 delivered? Adding 5 more pounds there's the Viking Candem (I prefer the looks of the first one). I've read this brand is not so great but with my budget it's a bit hard to find better ones. Also, I'm not very demanding. If it does the job for a few years I will be really happy.
What do you think about them? Are they worth their price? Do you know any other good deal? I have considered the second hand market, but it's even hardest for me to find a good deal as I'm not an expert!
Thank you so much for your help!
