You get what you pay for!

As with many things in life, you get what you pay for. This is no exeption with Mountain Biking, its so easy for a beginner cyclist to pop into there local superstore and pick up a bike for £60! You make think this is a bargin’ at the time but in time you will regret it.

They fall apart, well sorry to be so dramatic but if your thinking of getting into mountain biking and your first bikes an Ap*llo theirs a very good chance your going to pack it in! Them kind of bikes are good for ‘i use my bike once a year’ cyclists or childen etc.

If your a very keen beginner, my advice is to stick to your first bike being a hardtail (front suspension), i know its awfully tempting to buy a full suspension. A hardtail is a great bike to start off with, i recommend spending around £300 as a minimum but i wouldnt go much over. With that amount of money you’ll have a well designed light aluminium entry level bike.

Here’s two bikes which spring to my mind. (google them).

Trek 4300

Specialized Hardrock Comp

Hope i made you change your mind!
