Hi all.
Looking for some new bike advice, it will mainly be used for cycle paths/trails/roads and occasional commuting, also some occasional (gentle!) off roading.
Budget is around £300.
Had a read through some of the threads on here and quite like the look of the Rockriders and Calibres but they seem to be in very short supply.
I have managed to obtain a 20% discount at Halfords so think it best to concentrate on their, unless there are strong objections of course.
I have narrowed it down to the Carrera Vulcan at £255, the Voodoo Bantu at £320 or the Carrera Kraken at £320. I may even be able to stretch to the Voodoo Aizan 29er at £360.
Would I be better stretching for the Aizan if I am looking for more speed?
All feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff
