Help!!! I Need a new bike from Halfords

aidyman

I have now decided to replace my old mountain bike for a real bike..... but I need the best of both worlds.....

* On roads...to go from A - B
* Off road.... hardcore terrain
* Not too sure about the suspension bikes though!!!

I am going through the Halfords Cycle to work scheme so I need to buy a bike from there.
If any of you experienced guys out there have the time could you look at the Halfords website and recommend a bike that will suit my needs.....cost is not an issue... I would rather pay more if I need to.

Anyone please help!!!


By the way the Cycle to work scheme is great... you can get around 50% of the bike and any accessories. So if anyone wants to join get your company HR to sort it>>

You don't need to stick to Halfords stock, they can order in from other suppliers. Any idea (ballpark figure) of a budget?
Have a look at the Boardman bikes on Halfrauds website, in premium bikes section. Can't be beaten for the money.

I was interested in the Titanium bikes..like the...Voodoo D-Jab.
The price is around 1500 squid...

The Boardman bikes are good.

Bear in mind at Halfords you may be restricted to £1000 max. My scheme excludes the payment of extra cash for a bike over and above the voucher value.

The D-Jab looks a terrific bike for the cash.

You'll struggle to find an owner to tell you about theirs, but WMB ran a positive review of it.

Will be better over "hardcore terrain" than the Boardman bikes too, as it has a longer travel fork.

If you are restricted to £1k - there are a few long-forked hardtail options in that price bracket too.
