I'm looking to buy a couple of mountain bikes for Mrs Yuck and my good self.
They are unlikely to be heavily used, so I'm not inclined to spend a great deal of money on them. I think a budget of £150 per bike is enough. The roads in Southport are crap and we will ride down to the beach as well as out to the canalside pubs, so my only prerequisite would be dual suspension (delicate arse), lightweight would also be good.
I've seen various machines at both Halfords and our local JJB megastore and even Ebay that seem to fit the bill, just wondered if anyone had any particular suggestions?
Frame sizes? I used to know how to work this out but I'm old and my memory is fading
I'm 6'2", 33" inside leg (hung like a horse but thats probably not relevant here), Mrs Yuck is a short arse, 5'2" no idea what inside leg, but it's smooth if that helps What size frames should we get?
