£1400 to spend on 2 bikes, 1 roadish type bike, 1 mtb.
what would you get, or what could you get for your cash?
SS both, then you can get a bit of bling, you've got some options, and you will end up with two very nice bikes.
I'd say about £900 mtb, £500 road, depending on if you want bouncy or rigid forks, and if you want a nice set of wheels on one or the other (or both maybe).
Assuming the road type bike is for commuting or similar - buy or build a singlespeed for as cheap as poss. Then spank the rest on the mountain bike , could get a damn good spec steel hardtail or the like?
I've been looking at the whyte cambridge, 899. Mountain bike wise canyon look very good value with a decent spec.
I got a pretty much brand new trek fuel ex8 last summer for £1k from here- this would gve £400 for a road bike which would get a pretty decent second hand one or a really good ss
£999 on a 456
£399 on a Pompino
£2 on Harribos (£1 a bag in Toys r Us!)
Boardmans from halfords, high specs, great reviews and look superb. Even better deals on line. Boardan Pro Mtbs with Elixer carbon brakes, X0 rear mechs etc..are now under £900!
The only good thing ever to have come out of Halfords!
