I think i'm down to a choice between these two - finally after 24 pages.......

[AndyRM]

You could, and possibly have, driven yourself mad with the number of choices out there!

I'm not going to complicate things by making further suggestions, beyond these:

1 - Buy. A. Bike. Whether it's for looks or spec, just pull the trigger.

2 - Stop worrying about gearing! 11 - 32 will get you up a wall, provided you've got the legs. The longer you sit around dithering, the less time you are spending in the saddle!

So you reckon this http://www.discountcyclesdirect.co.uk/catalog/product.php?CI_ID=14989&O_ID=1 will be big enough for me?

Yes I do. But I think it is overpriced for a 3 year old bike with 10 speed.

You don't need a pin number to activate your card, just make an online purchase. But of course, that would mean you'd actually have to make a purchase.

Also, be ready to leave the house at 11 to cycle or drive to Ribble

Apparently the bank says he needs to go to an ATM with the PIN to activate the card

I'll call BS on that. I've never had to activate a card like that. What if you live nowhere near an ATM?

 

[vickster]

Dunno, what @Accy cyclist said in post #235

I've always had to phone to activate my cards, but it's been a while since I had a new account

Maybe it's one of those junior saver accounts.....

Mmm,yes i know what you mean about the 10 speed and its age. Having slept on it this
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXSL...57bf9f200f27ec4e49&utm_source=affiliatewindow
does have appeal but it does say FROM £899. Maybe you have to fork out more for better spec?

If you have a budget of £1200,then shell out for the better spec.
Then you have the bike you want.
