    I would like a nice hardtail, a Cove Hummer would fit the bill perfectly.

    I'm not exactly lusting after anything from them, But I wonder if Halfrauds can get anything decent ordered in? My Ride2Work is up next month. I can get a £1k for about £14 a month (after the tax breaks and stuff) I'd like a Spesh P-All Mountain, I've never had a hardtail and could use if to sharpen my woefull DH Skills. But is has to come from the bandits in orange and black.

  • My Mercian 531 touring bike.
    The frame was sent away for restoration at Mercian 8 weeks ago for a 6 week wait.

    Time ( as Mr Hawkins said ) is ellastic !

    When it does come back it will be resplendent in pearecent white with electric blue lug linning with matching transfers.

    Gonna do Lands End to Jon O Groats next spring ( maybe then my user name could change to Neil bit chubby lad on a bike :wink: )

    Jon - a ROAD bike?!

    strictly commuting duties only :oops: , been riding to work and it's 15 miles each way :oops: :oops: :oops: , with very big hills :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: .

    Whilst it's good cycling to work to get the extra miles in I can't see any fun in it, pleasure riding is strictly MTB (although the lycra liner with my baggies is starting to seem very stylish on it's own :shock: ).

    And the for now the missus has put her foot down and said no, time to buy a rug for the living room floor :wink: .
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Halfords can get just about anything on Bike to work so you are not limited by the shop stock. There should be a number to ring to order the bike you want.

    Do you mean £14 per week for this as I thought the duration was 12 months?

    Only just getting back into it so don't know enough about the different bikes. Think I would go for a British hardtail so its a custom build Kinesis or an Orange P7 with custom paint job all though £100 extra seems a bit steep to me :shock: ...

    hmm got a quake so I'm pretty much in love with that still. wish my new wheel'd hurry up though.
    ummmm
    maybe a lightweight hardtail? but anything too lightweight/xc style i'd break as soon as i spotted a jump next to the trail. A marin 140 would be awesome but pointless when i've got the quake.
    need a new bmx frame as mine is bent but thats less than £100 and just need to find one - its not really a lust...

    Ok. I'm more than happy with mine, I'd want the suspension finely tuned to my riding though. yep. no more bikes just mine to be tuned up. oh and a joplin/gravity dropper seatpost.

    either an Orange ST4, or a Turner of some description (flux or Spot). The Orange I might just about be able to afford with some man maths, if I wanted a turner I'd have to start selling someone's organs ;)
