First Mountain Bike Help
Hey, i'm looking at getting a Mountain bik soon, just for casual riding through the woods near me, maybe a little bit on the roads, mainly off road though.
I have been looking at this:
https://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...Id_165499#dtab
It looks decent and has good reviews, for a good price too it seems. What do you guys think of it?
Here are the rest of the mountain bikes available at the store.
https://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...5499_langId_-1
Can anyone let me know what the think of that bike? or reccommend another off the site, or any other decent Mountain bike for a relatively low price.
Thanks,
Matt

they are dept store bikes, i'd steer clear of them. check your local craigslist or ebay and try to find a decent used mtb. look for bikes from respected companies like Trek, Giant, Specialized, Kona, ect. even an entry level bike from Trek/Giant/Specialized would be better than a dept store bike.
