Hi guys im in need of a upgrade,

My budget is around the £300-£350 mark, and looking for something to just ride around and get fitness levels up nothing to extreme.
Ive seen second hand treks going for around that price and was woundering what are peoples thoughts on these bikes.
Ive seen a fuel 6 going around that price is that the normal price range those go for or would i be better looking for a hardtail.

Or are there other bikes that are good for that amount of money,
Dont mind going secondhand for a nice bike

Thanks
Gareth

    What are you upgrading from?
    Second hand is fine if you know what you're doing, but something like needing a new fork, or even a service could blow your budget.
    For the same reason it's impossible to comment on second hand bikes based on 'trek', there are millions of different models, years and conditions. Some Treks aren't even worth that much new.

    I'm upgrading from a very basic full suspension bike with discs nothing worth singing about

    Then look in the sticky at the top of Buying Advice.
