    Hi all,
    I'm looking to buy a new bike,
    can spend upto €450.
    main uses on road, but would like the option to go cross country as well.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance

    Bob

    imaginatively titled 'the cycle superstore'.

    it's a good shop though, i found it a lot better than cycleways for the lower price machinery.

    The one I am talking about is small and in the village itself, around the corner from a petrol station, on a back road.
    I think the cycle superstore is beside a motor factors and the main road.

    The cycle superstore is OK but this one is even better.

    think its called "the cycle inn" it's on the Greenhills Rd, centre of the village about 100 metres from the traffic lights/petrol station.

    Is there a place on the Long Mile Rd. also called Eurotrek?

    I can recommend the Specialized Hardrock - I got one myself a few months back from Cycleways in town for €399 for the work commute and have started some leisure stuff at the weekend as it's so nice :)

    Some people don't like them, but I'd also get some cheap mudguards for those choice wet days.
