how much would you spend to make sure you have a nice bike for the lesser money? |

You would be looking for something for around 300 euros. For that you would get a decent hard tail (no rear suspension). If you are planning on proper hard moutain biking you will probably need to spend two or three times that amount to get something decent. |

I have a GT aggressor I like it, it was a gift from an EX....I do not like her. |

Actually that's not a bad bike and last years could be had for about 250. |

I do not really get to riding actual "mountains" around here very often, but its a great ride around the city here. |

im on a $700 roadbike until i can afford something top end :) love it though |

buy used. that way you don't feel bad about scratching it up since it will probably come with a few already. plus you save a ton of money. could get a real nice hardtail with top of the line parts for under $1000. |

fuck it, just steal some kid's, they all break down and/or get stolen, so its not worth the money |

how much y got? A dont go to halfords B build yourself C.lightweight . |

Don't talk shit. Halfords do some cracking bikes provided you avoid the sub-£150 shite. |

riding is the only exercise I have ever enjoyed and actually kept up. I miss it so much. Id live in holland just for the biking. |
||||||||

i just meant get a light bike and avoid halfords and alike cause if you buy the parts yourself and build one , you can have a lighter bike for your money. it took a few days of research ..but now id never buy a pre built bike again. its fun too to build yourself. |

listen to ecnadniarb, he speaks the truth. £300 will get you something half decent so long as you avoid rear suspension. this thread makes me sad cos i never ride my bike anymore since i learned to drive. i have a marin full susser just sitting in the garage that cost me over a grand. the ppl i used to ride with moved to france to bike full time so i have no bike buddies anymore either......*sniff*.... |

The best bike could cost you as much as a pair of bolt cutters. You might go to hell though. |

What would Buddha Gautama think of this? |

not if you nick it from a bad person- in which case you're assisting the process of karma. |

2nd hand is a great idea. Will you be going off road at all? |
||||||||

I'd be asked where I'm going in such a hurry :) |
