apparently good deal for this bike online (£320)
im think of entering the muddy worl of mountain biking instead of road cycling
wouldnt be doing anything extreme
off road tracks, Glen Tress that sort of stuff
any idea if this bike is worth looking at as its in my (very limited ) price range

    The CB Cape Wrath D24 is a pretty good bike, especially for £320, although buying online does have it's problems, you can't try it out for size & if anything did go wrong then you have to send the bike/parts back

    Also worth a look at this price is the Carrera Vulcan Disc (£300), ok it's from halfords, but some branches do know what they're doing!

    A mate of mine has just bought the 2008 CB cape wrath D27 from JE James Cycles for about £360, the fork is smooth and the brakes are fantastic. Excellent bike for the money!!!
