danyorks Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm from East Yorkshire, not got a bike yet but looking to spend about £1000 - any suggestions? Complete beginner but I do have a road bike! (650cc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblenorbed Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi bud, welcome along. I was the same as you a couple of years ago and I wish I'd saved up more money for my bike. I had paid a grand for mine too and ended spending nearly the same again just to keep it in useable condition. So my advice would be to spend more cash bud.

clay Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Wobblenorbeds, hit the nail on the head, take your time, and buy a well serviced machine,,,,, you cant go wrong with a beta rev3 or a montesa 315 have a look around your local club,, good luck and enjoy,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelly1 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 hi what year you need to check for excessive play in the rear suspension leaking forks and any rumbling noises from the engine if they tell you its never been trialed id be more worried what have they been doing with it ?
