Hi All

I came across this site yesterday and I thought it was fantastic.

I have read a few posts and now I would like some advice as well.

I have been cycling to work now for about 18 months on a MTB with Full suspension.
I have now taken up the option of the CTW scheme and taken £500.
As I have a little lad this year Im taking the option to buy a hybrid as I think it gives me more flexibility.

My stats are im 6ft 3 just under 16 stones and have lost a stone (nearly as ive been watching the cals) I now want to start taking this cycling a bit more seriously.

I was looking at the specialized Vienna 3 disc but then came across the boardman comp bike

So fellow buddies what about the 2 choices about and im sure somebody can throw in another curve ball.

Thanks

Hi pb1jb1,

Welcome to the forums.

I've copied your first post into the Beginners forum as it'll get more eyes there.

Hope you get some good advice.

Cheers,
Shaun

Welcome to CC - you will find this place a source of much good advice and entertainment! I have heard the Boardman bikes are pretty decent! I also have a Specialized hybrid and it's been a good servant

Best of Luck,
SD
