Hi all, I'm looking for some advice.
I'm looking for a cheap (very cheap by your standards probably) bike that will do for going on bike rides in the 6 months I'm not at uni. I will be travelling around 5 or so miles away, on dirt paths hills and some roads. I've only ever had mountain bikes (cheap kiddy ones with full suspension where you go up and down more than forwards). I reckon a rigid or maybe front suspension would be fine.
My budget is no more than £150. Obviously aluminium would be better than steel but that's a big ask at that price.
I did find a Diamondback M05 at Go Outdoors for 129 but they are out of stock. I tried it in Halfords and it seemed perfect for my needs. Aluminium, comfy seat. Only problem as that it was 219 I think. I nearly got them to price match, got to the tills and they realised it's out of stock at the local Go Outdoors so they wouldn't do it.
So, basically:
Thanks.

- £150 budget
- Mountain bike
- Rigid or front suspension
- will be used for days out every so often.
Thanks.
