Hi all
I'm new to cycling, I have no idea about the different makes, sizes etc etc...
I'm looking to buy a bike for commuting, and for trails/woods etc, and to lose a bit of weight.
I'm 5'7 and 12 stone, and would like to tone up, been looking at a Claud Butler Stone River which someone is selling which hasn't been used, just been sitting in a garage covered up for 2 years, it has 24 shimano acera gears, qmd disc brakes, suntour xct suspension folks,
weinmann double wall rims and more complete with lights, computer, pump and bottle holder.
He wants £225 for it, is this a good deal and good for what I want it for?
Many thanks.

If you want to tone p you'd be better off sorting your diet out and lifting some weights in the gym.

The CB stone river was about £300 new.
Its OK, a bit high off the ground for everyday commuting but good for woodland riding. It has rack and mudguard eyelets which is a plus. Is it the right size?
Knobbly tyres are not best for commuting, you are better off with a commuter tyre with good puncture protection (eg Schwalbe Marathon).0 -
