Hi folks, im looking to get a bike, I had a spec rockhopper around 3 years ago an sold it because I had nowhere to keep it and stayed at the top of an all mighty hill.

I have now moved and have a garden I can keep my bike in, I have a max budget of £600, the ones I looked at were spec rockhopper 2014, cube or scott aspect 930,940. This bike is just for commuting and bit of fun on the trail asI stay right beside commonwealth games trail in Glasgow.

Thanks

    Look at Halfords or Decathlon for that budget.

    But you won't get the best deal there, you will pay more for the same quality bike or get a worse bike for the same money.

    Decathlon, go outdoors or Halfords are where you get good bikes at a good value for money.
