welshwan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 what will you be using the bike for? ... as you are 14, i take it that it's not for commuting And are you good at fixing bikes or do you know someone that is? other than a garage of course ££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You can never rely on someone else's opinion of a bike as they have different needs to you, your best bet is to try and get a free test drive of the bikes your interested in but as your not allowed to ride on the road yet that's going to present a problem for you and the seller. Most of the bikes you have listed are good machines and not a lot of difference between them I should think, but it might be an idea to find out what servicing/garages are in your area so you don't have to travel to far to get it fixed after you break it, you WILL break it we all have, ask the local riders around your area who fixes their bikes and how good they are, then go with the bike that seems to fit you and the local arrangements best. PS ask your Dad to help you out that way you will get at least one parent on side to help persuade your Mum to come on side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
