Hi all, i decided i would buy a hybrid bike, iv done quite a lot of research and this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250455626182) bike seems like a good bike for me.

I commute about 5-6 miles a day and sometimes on the weekend take 20 mile rides on road and on trails.

My budget is £170(275US) but ideally i want to spend 150, which the above bike is priced at.

What do you guys thinks of it, over time i will have money to upgrade any parts of the bike that lack in quality as im sure an entry level bike like this would have some weak spots, but its certainly an upgrade from my old HiTen mtb.

Thanks All your opinions are much appreciated.
