I would really appreciate a little advice on buying a bike. I am male 55, 6' and 15stone-8lb having
recently lost 2 stone and hoping to continue. I live on East Kent Coast and want to try a bike for
enjoyment and exercise. The council has opened a cost cycle route and I would like to do this as
well as road and off road routes. I tried a few bikes at the local shop but cant decide what is
best. I thought to spend about £200 but would spend more if necessary. I am torn between a Hybrid or
Mountain bike. I have considered a Trek Navigator 200 (very comfy and adjustable but uncool) Giant
Boulder FS (super forks non adjustable stem means bars are a bit low) GSR Alux FS (Adjustable stem &
cheaper) Giant Cypress DX (Alivio gears 700x40 tyres sprung seat pin and Forks Comfortable) Sorry
for long post any advice appreciated and names of good shops near Thanet Chris
