Hi all, Right i have it in mind that today i'm going to close the deal on one of these three bikes!
Firstly as far as where i ride, Most of my mileage comes from riding the penine trial and fire roads roughly around 100 miles per week, There's also 5 Miles per day commuting to work along a cycle road so nothing to strenuous.
I'm looking for a good solid bike that will last me some time but due to circumstances there is a MAX budget of £400 so i've decided to go second hand to get the most for my money. I have three possibilities, Your opinions would be appreciated.


This one is close to me, Despite the name seems to be a good specced solid build bike, Only thing troubling me is the top of the fork, Might be a camera trick but the cap seems to be missing, I'm waiting on an answer about that. Anyhow Looks like it's going for cheep enough so may have a few quid left for bits like mudguards and the like.

Whats the max you would pay for this one? Also any good?

    Two of those end in three days not today. The Fury is 425 so over your max budget.

    How much do the Rockriders tend to go for on eBay? Take a look at completed listings.

    Have you sat on the bikes for sizing etc? Are you able to view them to check condition?
