How much are you planning to spend?

You get a really, really ****ty bike if you buy a full suspension bike for under a grand.

I usually change bikes often so im not worried about lastability,i bought one in dunnes for 89.99 that had dual suspension,i know i know i know
bikes like this should be avoided but i actually liked it

im wondering where i can get another one like it since dunnes dont have them anymore

Are you planning on riding this yoke or is it for some kind of art-installation?

Buy a bike without suspension, it will be much lighter and won't be like riding a sponge.

Halfords have those sorts of bike. I've seen a few super valu's/euro spars selling them as well. Argos probably too.

(Hey, the guy wants what he wants!)

is there a halfords in dublin?

A similar crap one without suspension will be cheaper, faster (suspension zaps energy from the bike), and last longer. Lad in cycleways calls them "confirmation bikes"

Yes, there are five of them scattered roughly around the M50. Go here and stick "Dublin" into the box.

The advice to not go full suspension if spending this little is good advice. Why not spend a little more and _not_ have to change bikes really often?

Dunnes on George's St. had one on top of the dairy fridge yesterday afternoon.

If you go second hand and know what to look for you could get a decent hybrid from €100-150.
