I've been commuting on my normal trail bike for some time now and i'm happy doing that most days but there are often situations where i'd like to ride somewhere (meeting / shops etc) but don't for fear of leaving my bike locked in town for a couple of hours. Modern MTB's are pretty showey and everything is quick release so not at all suitable. What i'm thinking of is a simple, cheap, rugged but hopefully still fun bike that i can use daily but wont attract attention if left somewhere for a few hours??
Do i start with a very basic MTB? or CX? I wouldnt get any riding enjoyment from a full road bike. And i'm nowhere near trendy enough for a fixie!!
