  1. Right at the moment i have a road bike.....which is nice but im wanting to get rid of it...and possibly get a hybrid.....i guess my question is...are they more comfortable? and are they as easy to ride as my road bike? I really just need some advise on what i need to do.....anyone please help me!🙂

  2. Well i suppose a light 4 inch full sus xc bike will do most things if you dont race.......

    well I bought a 6 year old giant atx 990 for£300 with all top upgrades
    fitted wieghs 25 pounds..my advice try before you buy if you can.....
    i borrowed it for 2 weeks before buying... most specialized kit is good.

    It really depends on where you plan to ride. If you're doing urban riding, parks and well-maintained trails
    then a hybrid is the way to go for comfort. I bought a '06 Diamondback Maravista (hybrid) for that type of riding.
    I made a mistake and let my wife ride the bike and now she won't give it back.

    If you're plan on riding XC then you might want to consider a HT MTB.
