hi all
i'm neil and new....my last bike was as a teenager and i used to cycle on weekends and was the owner of a raleigh team banana and a peugeot milk team? cycle. have had a few mountain bikes and so on but am now in a position to get a bike for commuting and road use.
Basically its an insurance jobbie as my old rarely used mountain bike was stolen and i have been told i can use a company called wheelies and pay £50 for a bike up to £399. sounded too good to pass by and as i live closer to work these days thought i would jump in.
My requirements were road/hybrid and not a fixed gear, and a flat bar cycle. have kind of narrowed it down to a Viking Treviso and a Giant Rapid 4. pound for pound price wise i guess as the Giant is discounted into my price range from 499 its seems to be a no brainer but i would really appreciate the advise as to the pros and cons f both and whether as a brand Viking holds up to Giant as an option.
thanks in advance, and i assume the site gets many of these which bike for me threads... so thanks in advance for answering.
