Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for a bike for me.
I'm 6ft 4" and with previous bikes I have suffered pins and needles in my hands, which is down to riding position I think, my saddle always looks to be too high. My last bike was a 21" frame.
I need to buy a bike that's new to me. I'm doing more road work than I used to and need something that's suitable as a commuter. I would also like the bike to be usable on some trails but nothing extreme. Not really wanting a road bike.
Currently thinking maybe a hybrid.
Anyone got any recommendations upto around £1000 budget.

A pair of ergon grips or some if those that mould to your hands to prevent pain in your hands.

A nice light 29er XC hardtail would be good for you. Don't go hybrid IMHO. You could also consider a CX bike?
