I've been looking into buying a bike and I'm after a bit of advice.
I'm mainly going to use it for riding around the city, but every now and then I'll be doing a bit of off road riding, but nothing too rough.
Some that I've had recomended to me from a couple of local shops are:
Marin Bolinas http://www.marinbikes.com/2002bikes/active/view-bolinas.html
Giant Rincon http://www.giant-bicycles.com/au/03...del=9693&lYear=2003&bikesection=8783&range=31
They are both the same price (the Marin one was much higher but it is on sale). What would you recomend? I havn't heard much of marin before but they offer a lifetime warrenty so I guess they must be ok.
Are there any other models that I should look at? I'm hoping to not spend more than $700 australian.
Thanks.
