You can't really go wrong with those brandsJust make sure you know the size you want and that the person selling the bike is actually the owner.

Good thought about the size, I'll check what size my hybrid isI only look at the listings where they namecheck components, rather than "mountain bike fer sale".

You need to take my patented approachOf finding a friend who's getting a new bike, and gives you his old one on the premise that you pay for the parts that need replaced.

It's how I got a Gary Fisher MarlinWith upgraded seat, forks and chain set, and paid about £80 to replace a few parts. Score.

A Marlin is a good starting pointNice frame, even better if it's all upgraded for you.

Seeing as it was an upgrade from not having a bikeI would say it was a fairly good start. It does me well, even if it did try to kill me last time I was out on it.
