Hi people,

 Just after abit of advice from all you experts out there.

Im looking to buy a new bike got a budget of £300-£400 what should i be looking for to get a half decent bike? It'll be for 70% road 30% off road id say. Ive previously had a Carrera fury dual suspension jobby id of stuck with that but ive kinda grown out of it. Any views on the new Carrera fury? Ive been told that Coyote are pretty decent.

Cheers

Tom

stay away from full sus - it'll be heavy, unreliable and a total waste. i'd even be tempted to go rigid... but maybe thats just me. have a look at second hand, some great deals around.
