Folks,

I'm after a bike for Mrs. Kinky.

Budget is approx £100 for the bike itself (accessories/helmet/etc are seperate and certainly not skimping on helmet budget).

I'd class her as a Novice, height is about 5ft 4 and would be light useage, over light terrain - certainly NOT hardcore MTB style.

No idea really on where is an honest/reliable palce to go - either shops or on-line. We popped into Halfords today - they had 1 ladies bike reduced to £120 - but no-one was interested in talking to us, so we voted with our feet!

Not interested/no need in the hi-tec/hi-spec stuff like disk brakes or fancy front/rear suspension. A stock bike would suffice.

Can be new or 2nd-hand ... if new, then I guess an '06 bike would be where the offers are.

Any advice or suggestions on what might be a good decent buy? Also, any advice or suggestions on where to go? Online or shop .... local towns are Camberley, Staines, Bracknell, Windsor and Slough.

Many thanks in advance,

K

Hummmm ... Mountain Trax are pretty local to me ... and used to be owned by my ex-BiB partner (he sold it off a few years ago) ..... I might pop down to them.
