    If you are only going to be riding it on the road, then disc brakes are good, suspension is bad, get a Subway instead. If you want to use it on some light off-road riding too, then it should be OK. A workmate has one and it seems quite reasonable, if a little on the weighty side due to the fork.

    It's only worth about £299 anyway, nobody would pay £480 for it, that's just a marketing ploy by Halfords.
