Muddyfox Swift Road Bike

Hi guys,

I want to take up cycling as a hobby and was looking to buy a cheap road bike instead of spending alot on a bike and then to give up in a couple of months. I came across this on sportsdirect.com and wanted to know peoples opinions on it. Not much info on it. Its very cheap at £169.99..too cheap a bike maybe?

If only Kona was here to comment!

It's a BSO(Bike shape object) yes it's too cheap, Save a bit more and get a decent used bike from Adverts or the like. Cheap components and bikes never end up well.

reilig

Jebus, there's a bike shop near my office and they have a sale on this week. They're selling that exact bike for €399. There's a sign on it saying that its down from €599. :eek::eek:
