I am looking to buy myself a new MB as my old one is 15 years old and feeling its age. I am looking to spending £500 to £600 and another £100 on changing stuff that I do not like (such as adding SPDs and bar ends). I quite like This opinions please. ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors, get 115 on your licence today. |

Go second hand. You can get some epic deals from the people who bought a bike thinking "this will make me fit now" only to realise after one ride that it actually requires effort and gave up. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140

I think at our place the "cycle to work" scheme takes the money out of your pre-tax salary not your take home, which effectively makes your money worth 25% more.
I'm not sure if that makes sense or not |

Since you are into the slightly left of field in terms of transportation.
Have you considered a 29" er?
I'm sure I don't need to tell a hillclimb rider about the benefits of a larger rolling diameter wheel.
On-one make some pretty sweet frames and are a little left of filed (and slightly over your budget but their complete bikes are well specced). Genesis make some very nice bicycle shaped bicycles. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
