Hi All.............i'm looking to get my first bike and i've sort of narrowed it down to a viking san marino, carrera TDF, decathlon or a raleigh airlite 200. I was fortunate enough to take the viking for a ride and it felt fine but then again what am I actually looking for??? so any advice or tips on the above bikes and what to look for would be great

    I would suggest you find a local club or friend who knows what they are doing and a) see if they have any decent second hand stuff for sale or b) can go with you and help you decide/offer advice. I cant see any of those bikes coming out of a modern lbs so a bit of impartial 'on scene' advice could go a long way.
