[biggs682]

Thanks @Cycleops

@beany_bot lot of good advice already given , one of my commuting fleet is a 90's Marin Mtb had it since new so owes me little £ wise , loads on e bay and gumtree .

the only thing i have that comes close that i would part with at the mo is this My 50's Raleigh Roadster ok its not on 26's as in mtb size but it has 26" wheels older style

Is 18" frame too small for me or OK in a pinch? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-S...749981?hash=item1ec0ec98dd:g:TW4AAOSwNnRYlcjH

I'd avoid suspension forks.
As for size it depends how tall you are.

5"10

I can always lock them off if they are no good I guess.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep looking. That raleigh seems ideal I've messaged him

Thats really excellent but not near me sadly. im near glasgow

It was simply an example. There'll be plenty on eBay and gumtree

Not all suspension forks lock, esp on BSOs

I've got a couple of welders and a workshop. Where there's a will there's a way! lol

Maybe just consider potential safety of bodging a critical bike component make sure your life insurance is paid up

Just get non suspension forks - much lighter and in my view the bike will handle better that with cheap suspension. You'll have a MTB tyre to saok up the type of terrain a Hybrid will be used for.

Yes, you need a 20 or 21" I'd say.

Hi, I'm looking for a mens hybrid with 26" wheels. Ideally full mudguards and pannier rack too. Must be affordable. Really on a budget. Can't seem to find a bike lol.

Actually you know what. If it's easier I dont mind riding a ladies hybrid. I'm 5"10". Thanks.

Must be like £100 - £200. just cheap and disposable price.

Have sent you a PM hopefully
