hi guys,

looking for some help/advice, my father (59 yr old) is looking to do some cycling for some excercise and he is wanting to buy a hybrid but not quite sure which one to get, he has looked at the boardman comp and im looking for alternatives to that around £600 mark.

any ideas on what to go for?

thanks

    The Boardman :D

    You can dabble with Sirrus, Marin Alp, Ridgeback but the Boardman is the nicest IMO.
