If you're going out with groups who are on road bikes and therefore riding faster - then you might want a road bike.

The hardrock's way too cramped for distance! I brought it for larking about oon the heath and doing some jumps! I will be cycling with a mate of mine whose also on a road bike, not only that 40% off + no VAT = Have to get a bike!

........Also have you got a budget for clothing, a lid, a pump, lights, shoes, pedals, inner tubes, tyres.

That is a nice bike! I think under the scheme that you can purchase all of the above! Not sure on the Spandex look but I'll give it a go!haha:cool:

The S30, if you can run to it look amazing and has "proper" STI shifters (Tiagra I think) rather than crappy Sora shifters :thumbsup:

Yeah I had a look at those 2 types of shifters asnd I have to agree the Sora's are pretty pap!
