I'm about to move to the top of a very bil hill (for brighton anyhow) so i need a more suitable bike for commuting up a very big hill.
ideally i'd like to be able to razz it off road on the way down to work but need to do a long road climb (or off road) home
what should i get? toying with the idea of a proper sized rigid on-one.
any other cheap and cheerful xc bike deals out there? not sure i want suspension forks.
cheers,

The lightest bike you can afford.
if the gradient is gradual and constant, get a single speed (road, track, MTB) then you can pump up there, great feeling when you get to the top
i think a single speed might kill me at this stage.
nost of my riding is gravity assisted fun/razzing in the woods.
A motor bike!
I'll get me coat.
with the right gearing it will be good, then as you get stronger / fitter you can change the gearing to suit
A road bike. Or MTFU and ride it on the bike you've got.

If you get a single speed you'll learn to look forward to hills 🙂
