Which Bikes

Nothing wrong with pretty colours. All part of being a bike tart.

Welcome to the forum, the chaps seem to have covered the choices very well. You might want to have a look at the older models of the Specialised Rockhopper. Top bike for the buck and you'll probably get a good deal on them if you shop around.

Very happy quick ride tonight and can't believe the difference compared to the other bike I was using.

Thanks for all the advice.

Could be tricky that we live on a narrowboat so going to be awkward to get that photo due to space constraints.
