Hi all,
You seem to be willing to offer advice to newbies like me so I'll give it a go. Thank you in advance as this is all very confusing!
I'm looking at buying a bike. My last one was a late '70s Raleigh 10 speed so that tells you my level of knowledge!! I think I'd like to try some off-roading when my fitness level gets a bit better, but in the mean time I'd like to do some road and bike trails and maybe fire trails.
I want something decent but not too expensive and have been looking in the $500-$600 range, roughly. Currently looking at a Trek 4300, Felt Q600, Avanti Escape. I've heard good things about Kona but don't know where to get them on the Central Coast of NSW. Specialized is highly recommended by a local shop - no bias there, of course!!
Does anyone have recommendations or advice about these or other good bikes to consider? Also, is anyone interested in some recreational biking on the Central Coast or north shore of Sydney?
Thanks
Anne
