£300 to spend...

CLTatters

I've got a mate coming up next weekend to buy a bike on my advice....
Budget abt £300. I think she'll mainly use the bike on road but one which can do firetracks & maybe a bit more off road would be good - we have gone off road before with a rigid bike - once!
Any suggestions? Of which bikes to get but also the spec I should be aiming for?

Thanks

This is great VFM if you can stretch to £360.

Have a look at the What Bike thread, a few options there.

For about 300 now u can pick up GT 2.0 if not GT 1.0. Both are superb bikes for its value...
