Hey folks,

First venture on here from the MTB forum.

Im a mountain biker through and through but my mum recently asked me to try and find her a bike for pottering around the town/village on.

She dosent want anything complicated, So I would imagine single speed or a 3 speed maybe, suspension not really needed, must be comfortable to ride and lightweight for the rolling hills.

Any ideas for a budget of around £300-£500?

cheers

    "Lightweight commuter/hybrid bike" I'm afraid this is an Oxymoron...

    Ridgeback Speed

    Got one for my daughter last year
    It has a step through frame, large tyres and a rear carrier
    Too many gears but that's the way it goes these days
