Answer 1

The bike was a good value at 280 quid is now a fantastic value at 200.

You would have a difficult time beating the bike for quality or price.

Answer 2

As with everything in life, you only get what you pay for. There might be many people who will say - because they have very expensive bikes - that this machine is no good.

The thing is that for £200 you are getting a competent machine built to a budget.

It is produced by a reputable manufacturer and is equipped with components that will provide many years of great pleasure if it is looked after correctly.

It will handle some light off road stuff and will be fine if you are going to use it on the road.

For exclusive road work it might be (in my opinion) a trifle heavy, but its performance would be greatly enhanced by the fitting of slick tyres.

This model uses Shimano, Tektro and Kalloy components which are well known suppliers with a reputation for workmanlike equipment.

Unless you want an hardcore off road bike or a long distance commuter, this bike will be a good buy.

Answer 3

Good bike for the price! It is well priced.

Just make sure you get the right size for the user- If in doubt ask at the bike shop!

Enjoy!

Answer 4

I am with Yellowbelly.  It is not a bad machine for £200.  The Suntours will offer some light off road capability, but you will trash the bike if you try any black runs.

This is a good bike for pootling around a country park or lakeside track with the family, or for general get out on the bike as it is a nice warm evening.

It is not going to be a great machine for club runs or taking to Coed Y Brean.  But for the money, the components are reasonable within this price range.

Luck
