I know it is a common question but it would really help if someone could offer some advice on buying a new bike.
I like road riding and done a few miles in the past and would like to start again, but i am also keen to get into off roading(used to be heavily into bmx's years ago.)
My budget is anything upto about œ800.
Any help would be gladly received.

Thanks in advance

    For that money i would get a Kona Caldera, i just got one and they are great.

    Or look at spesh rock hopper.

    Thanks will look at them both, what do you use your caldera for.

    I have a spesh rockhopper and it is perfect for off-roading if you are just getting back into biking. For road use you may be better off buying a second set of wheels with some road tyres fitted. Also, look for a bike that comes with lockout on the front fork as this makes road riding far easier.
