I like some Halfords bikes like Voodoo or Boardman, but it's never worth spending £200 on a brand new bike. I would recommend searching ebay for bikes near you. Loads of people buy bikes, hardly use them and then stick them on ebay when they are clearing out and it's quite easy to spot a good one. You can buy a Saracen Mantra for £150-250 which is £450 bike with hydraulic disc brakes.

Some things are worth saving money on, but when it comes to new bikes it's a minefield under £300. There is so much junk out there that is not built to last so it's a false economy.

I would say the "value" of this Carrera is about £120 new. The fork is absolute junk (same for any cheap bike) and you'd be FAR better off with a rigid fork instead of this thing.

Look what you can get for £200-230:

I guess Voodoo isn't a well known brand - so many fantastic Voodoo bikes going for under £150:

There are so many to choose from, you just have to search for nearest first and maybe wait a week for one to pop up down the road from you.

That chain at the bottom looks like its curved slightly upwards. I can understand straight or sagging down but makes me think the bike image is taken upside down perhaps to show the maximum travel of the forks unless its some sort of camera issue or optical illusion.

slightly off topic but could anyone recommend a decent bike for a 11 year old that he could grow into?

Islabike beinn 26 with a small frame. Always get good resale price when he does grow out of it. Or Frog bikes are a good brand but with twist gear change and not so good resale value eg. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Frog-bike-lightweight-childrens-size-73-black-/131901731679?hash=item1eb5f4b35f:g:uWMAAOSwdzVXp2lG But it all depends what sort of riding he intends doing.....trails or more serious abuse etc.

YES! Islabike or Frog bike. I would not bother with anything else. Yes there are cheaper bikes but they are much heavier and don't have any resale value. You can buy an Islabike or Frog bike, use it for 2-3 years (maintain it of course) and then sell it for £50 less than what you paid.

sadly that's the code added automatically by HUKD. You will find similar codes on most deals.
Sometimes they work
