Hi all hope this is the right thread for this post, hoping for a little advise really.
I have just bought a new mountin bike, only a cheap thing mainley for getting to work wichnis about 3 miles so would do 6 miles 3 days a week. But also I prob plan to use it on the weekend for some extra cardio and help with some weight loss.
I wanted to go with a hybrid but with money I just opted for a mountin bike which was £120. I was not exspecting any thing fancy as you mnow you get what you pay for.
I took the bike out today for the 1st time, and I feel its not the best few thing felt funny on it. This includes hard seat, small handles weak feeling peddles. Also there were some annoying bits like gears not feeling right when changed and with it being a grip shif I often changed gear not wanting to.
My question is it worth just getting another bike and spending a bit more say ariund the £200. Or just trying to upgrade this one, with new seat and peddles and road tiers.
