Thanks everybody for various bits of advice.  I followed a few things on eBay and was outbid on a Specialized before I decided that second-hand prices are too high at this time of year, so I just bought a Marin Hawk Hill from a dealer in Abingdon on the way back from dropping the Disco off for a service.

Been for a quick ride and it's a massive improvement on my old heap of junk!

Speaking of which, anybody want to buy a used Barracuda Showdown?  It's a fantastic bike!  Seriously, it'd do fine for older kids who want a full-suspension bike to hack around on, and I'm very open to offers.

sorry get a proper bike...



2 wheels are for lazy ppl, you can easily do a average of 18-20mph on these ;)

tiltboy:
Nice one!

Marins are fantastic. I used to ride a Mount Vision but sold it when my attentions turned more towards 4 wheels. Still regtret that but couldn't judtify that sort of cash just sitting in the shed!

Funny you should say that, I'm borrowing one off a friend next week in order to learn...
