thefugitive Posted July 14, 2009 Share Ok, so the missus is keen to start cycling now.. I doubt it will be long for her to pick up off road riding techniques so i don't want to go out and buy her a cheap bike for her to out grow its features in 3 months so probably something in an intermediate range and want the bike to have hydraulic disk brakes.. What would you all suggest we look at?? Like i said, don't want to break the bank and if she progresses nicely, would move her on to my bike and i will get a flasher one!

Matchstix Posted July 14, 2009 Share Full sus or hardtail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted July 14, 2009 Share Just remember, no matter what bike you start off with, a cyclist will always want an upgrade after 3 months.The more expensive the bike is now, the more expensive the upgrade will be in 3 months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefugitive Posted July 14, 2009 Share She is almost 6ft so it will be a large frame.. I am not sure on which to go for with regards to full suspension or hard tail.. Maybe hardtail to start and then she can upgrade to my full sus later down the line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted July 14, 2009 Share What is your idea of not breaking the bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 14, 2009 Share I'm 6ft and my bike's a medium... 17.5 inch, to be exact. So she might be better suited to something other than a large. Just try them all out before saying "she's a large gal!" For a budget-beater (under 6k) you can't go wrong with Felt. The Q620 has hydraulic discs, deore components and a reasonable (in the entry-level range) fork. Silverback are also very good, but for the same spec you're looking at about 7k. Schwinn also do a good entry-level bike, the Mesa, which is almost on a par with the Felt wrt the value for money stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappaBear Posted July 14, 2009 Share You can get the Schwinn moab (better specs than the Mesa or felt) for about R7500...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 14, 2009 Share Yeah, that's true... but if his budget is in the 6k region, the Mesa or Felt are the best options... Saying that, it all hinges on what his definition of "breaking the bank" turns out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
