Hello all,
Would be very grateful to receive some swift advice on best value bikes (road/mtb/bmx) out there. The best deals that anyone has come across etc?
Im looking for a bike for my son (tall 8yr old, confident cyclist) and such advice on best deals found by cycle chat members would be priceless.
tip top,
Calzoom.

Islabikes are simply stunning quality. We have two and they are just so much better than anything else

Carrera Subway 24. Not as good as an Islabike (although I believe she had a hand in designing it), but far better than anything else I found.

We have a Dawes for the 12 year old (very tall size 5ft 5) and a Saracen for the 10 year old. We have been pleased with both. They are used mainly for cycling to school rather than lenghty cycle rides, they have stood up to the rigours of the woods as well as the pot holey roads where we live. I think they were both around the £200 mark. Technically I have no idea of their quality they were bought before I was able to take advice from you good people.
