Also, I'm eating my words a bit about the £ amount.
That bike looks pretty good for the money.

get mudguards, and if you were to buy only one bike accessory, get a track pump, as you inflate tyres so fast you can get them to the proper pressure you need for riding on the roads

So will this lil' baby be able to have some chunky off road playing in mud tyres or will it have skinny lil' forks too? Do their mountain bike stylee hybrids look any good?

Looks like a snazzy bike! So if I went for this... and mud guards... and super bright lights (so I can light things up in the countriside rather than just be seen in the city)... and a lock of some description.... and helmet.... £400-ish. Not tooooooo bad. But more than I have sat in my pocket at the moment (which was the draw of the work cycle scheme... :-/) Are there any other stockists people can find which are also on this list (http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/finder/)

Is this skinny little frame made out of twiglets going to be strong enough for my massive bulk?

Oooo, I guess my other question is... What size frame should I get? I'm 6ft 4 and trousers are 33in inside leg if that comes into the equation at all?!?!?


Thanks for all the help folks!
