Hi all,
I have a cyclescheme voucher burning a whole...and want a nice hardtail to ride through the winter (and onwards obviously). Doesn't really need to be light coz I'm pretty fat! If anything would prefer it to be burly and built to last, with decent frame and fork.
Anybody seen any good deals?

Have a look at On-one's site.

You can get get a rigid inbred or for just a smidge more you can get a 456. They do the C2W thing IIRC.

Well i got a Whyte 805 with my voucher and its been a great bike.

Only thing i have done was to swap the fords for SIDs cause i got them for a good price.

Bike is fast and everything works perfectly, with the new forks it weighs 25lbs which is not to be sneezed at.

Another vote for the 805, mine has been great.

I've been really happy with my Marin Rocky Ridge, and regularly choose it above my full susser. Great bike.
