Want to buy a new bike

This is going to end in disaster. You can barely use your feet to walk, let alone operate light machinery haha.

That said;

-Lockable front suspension - why?

I was just told its a good idea.

Spend about £800 on a second hand off road bike. You will get a really cracking steed for that. Then take that £200 thats left and invest it in a second hand cheap road bike.

Cant do that unfortunately, not unless i spend more of my own cash. Which is something i could do i guess. (not allowed to top up, i'd just have to go out and buy my own road bike). Its not something i wanted to do really.

I want my bike so i can cycle around on the road/off road tracks or something. But i wanted to have the ability (since, come on its one thousand pounds of metal) i wanted to join in with you guys going off roading to a degree. I'd want to be at least able to keep up.

For me, a thousand pounds is a lot of dosh for a bike, so for that money i want to get something i can use for most occoasions. Obviously the extreme stuff i don't expect it to do (i wont be good enough anyway)

If you are coming this weekend have a spin around on my freeride hard tail. Take it up the park if you like.

Thanks dude, i might come up, be great to see what your bikes are like so i know weather its something i could "put up" with for road use.
