Rose Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hello... we want to buy some bikes! Simple enough but after a bit of research OH thinks that we should not buy a bike from the supermarket (unreliable) and that we need to spend around £300 per bike to get something reasonable. We need three so this will be almost £1000 which is not an unconsiderable sum! [blink]So before we go ahead... any cyclists out there that can offer us some advice... best place to buy, good price to pay, recommended models? The last bike I had was in about 1970 so any advice welcome! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Have you looked in Decathlon? Much better quality than the supermarkets and a wide range to suit most needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimg Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 im no expert, but window shopping at the many corner cycle shops, in most villages, seem to suggest good value for money and high spec, thought the makes seem a mysterykim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Some bike shops (small and not so small) will have good second hand / reconditioned bikes for sale, perhaps you could start with these and then buy some better ones when the opportunity arises.

5-element Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 [quote user="Will"]Have you looked in Decathlon? Much better quality than the supermarkets and a wide range to suit most needs. [/quote] I totally second that, Decathlon is the best place to look, according to various bike experts. I think they might even have their own make (Nakamura) you definitely get very good value for money there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
