Want to buy a new bike

[Slam Wagon]

Look at the specialized range, theyre our high end bikes where i work. Can get exactly what your looking for at that price or less (im in the workshop so not 100% on their prices) theyre in the middle of brining in their new range as week speak so all of the 2013 bikes are getting low on stock with specialized themselves and local stored will be wanting to shift old stock soon, means discount if you sweet talk them. But if you want to go through c2w you wont get any discount so might be worth waiting for the new ones to come through, might be a while though.

And you dont need a spare set of wheels, just get some slick tyres in the right size, about £30 for a pair and then some tubes to suit.

Oh and i really like the shimano hydro disks, avids are just getting worse and worse. Hope will always be expensive but nice. A well set up v-brake will be better than a mechanical disk, plus cheaper and easier to maintain. But for the money you will get hydro disk easily.

Lockable suspension will make a difference if your using it for commuting, most will have it at that price too. Just dont ride if off road with it locked, it will go wrong.
