Newbie needs your opinion... which bike?

Giant Bowery beats the langster.

If your after a more modern compact aluminium frame, which has a very smart paint job (black & chrome) RRP's at only £350

That gives you a lot more room for customisation.

Spare £150

• £30 Lock
  
• £20 some comfortable nice looking ladies seat
  
• £30 Some custom paintjob you dont really need but would make it more "you"
  
• £20 Pair of spare Tyres in a Colour to match your fancy paintjob
  
• £10 Track pump
  
• £5 Fixed Cog in an alternative gearing
  
• £5 pair of inner tubes
  
• £15 a pair of more classy looking handbars or risers if you prefer.
  
• £5 Coloured bar Tape OR BMX grips to match your colour scheme
  
• £10 A pair of good LED blinkers, some batteries and a bell.
  
  

I realise you cant really get all of that stuff under cyclescheme, I just think the bowery is pretty good value.
Oh, you probably need a man to help you put it together ; )

I would try as many as you can. I can recommend the Langster, it gets no love from the hardcore but as a package £400. Its great. Its advantage over the others is weight, its very light compared to the Fillimore, Plug, Steamroller etc. I like mine, as a starter for 10 its great. Unfortunatley all the lovely machines on here have me hankering after my old individual build!

As I say try as many as you can before you buy.

All the best.:)
