Wow, it really is that cheap! Would it be a huge mistake to get the Giant as a starter bike to see how I get on, before committing to something a bit priceir......I always worry in london about bikes getting stolen and ending up on Brick Lane.

Thanks for all the replies, yes I was looking at the Felt, but couldn't find any deals to get it into the price range I was after. That Bowery at that price becomes an interesting choice, as I had ruled it out as figured there was better bikes out there, but at that price I'd love to take a look, I wander where was selling it for that.

Hey Tommy, we head Wales, Scotland and Morzine in France when we can, but for more local action we head to Aston Hill over near Ayelsbury as its just a quick turn off the M25.

Ha ha, thanks Nimhbus, thats very good of you!

Hi all,

I am new to all this, so please be gentle, ha ha. I am a Downhiller by trade, so look for strength and suspension in my bikes. HOWEVER as you all know a downhill bike is for that purpose and hardly suited to the roads of London town and the daily commute.

So I am looking to buy a fs/ss bike that I can use to commute from Putney to Farringdon on a daily basis. I don't want to really spend more than £350. I like the flip-flop hub as it gives me the best of both worlds, sorry if I have offended anyone there.

So, what can anyone recommend, if anything? I was looking at the Kona Paddy Wagon, but it is just out of my price range at around £400. So your help would be greatly appreciated in suggestions of what is out there that is good and bad.

Cheers,

Rob
