  The Globe Vienna 1 is a bicycle that has the unique ability to become an extension of people's lifestyles and personal tastes, rather than simply a piece of sporting equipment.

  
  its just a bike, no need to make it sound like a god ey ;)

  Looks nice, but I do like to have front shocks in town, great for bumping up and down kerbs.

  For £200 your best bet would be a Rockrider 5.2
  
  
  
  

  technical information
  
  * Frame: 6061 T4/T6 aluminium. 1.9kg in size L. Reinforced tubes. - the lightweight, reinforced frame has the same geometry as the series 8 models. It is fitted with disc brake hangers and pannier rack nuts. Three layers of paint and varnish protect the frame from the elements and from impact.
  * Suspension : Rockrider Grind 1 70mm fork by Spinner. One-piece fork blades. - the fork is stiff and strong, and allows preload adjustment.
  * Drivetrain: Suntour XCT302 22x32x42 chainset. Shimano Altus 8 speed shifters. Shimano C050 front derailleur. Shimano Altus rear derailleur. K7 SRAM PG830 8 speed 11x32 cassette. - the shifters are more ergonomic and stand up better to impact in the event of a fall. Extremely precise and with 24 speeds so you can always find the right gear, whatever the terrain. A standardised, reliable set.
  * Position: Rockrider Sport oversize 600/640mm handlebars. Rockrider oversize 6° stem. Rockrider 29.8mm seatpost by JD. Rockrider saddle. Classic Wellgo LU-C3 pedals. Aheadset VP A71 headset. - the oversize stem and handlebars provide more safety and better steering to keep you heading in the right direction at all times. The components are marked to help you find the right settings.
  * Wheels: Rockrider Sport double-wall rims by Rigida. JT761/818 hubs. Mach1 2mm stainless steel spokes. - the double-wall rims are a must to guarantee the solidity of the bike and its durability over time. The wide CST tyres, with their new profile, ensure grip with maximum efficiency.
  * Brakes: Shimano Altus levers. Rockrider V-brakes. - a reliable and high performance set. We have added longer brake pads for extra power. The lightest in its range.
  * Weight: 13.7kg (size L with pedals). -

  I don't think so!
  The Decathlon bike is a far better bike. Put some slick rubber on it and it will destroy the Specialized in the city.

  Exactly the kind of bike that all those who post about £60 Tesco bikes should be buying instead.

  Hi this looks like a good deal, hope people dont mind me asking here but I wonder if anyone could offer me some advice. I am on the look out for a good bike for £200 max for something that is hopefully gonna last me a few years, I want to cycle for fitness really and lose a bit of weight, cycling approx an hour a day on roads, cycle tracks and occasionally bumpy paths and trails so what bike do I want, a road bike or a mountain bike or a hybrid? and what kind of tyres? Can anybody help me or tell me where there may be a really good bike buyers guide. I am 5' 9" and about 12.5 stone (overweight I know but hoping to do something about this).
  
  Thanks a lot for any help anyone can give!

  Looks nice, but I do like to have front shocks in town, great for bumping up and down kerbs.

  
  
  Each to their own, but are you really gonna get decent forks on a £200 bike?

  I'm no expert, but this bike should fit the bill. If you're on the road alot you may want slimmer tyres, but 35c should be ok. What you dont want is a mountain bike with cheap suspension, and fat tyres. It'll slow you down and make the bike heavier.

  Go to a bike shop and try a bike with front suspension forks and then try a similar model with fixed front forks. Also try a mountain bike against a hybrid, I know my local bike shop and halfords will both let you try bikes outside the store. Once you have done this you will almost certainly be able to make up your own mind as the differences are very noticable. My personal chioce would be a hybrid with no suspension for your needs.

  Hot Deal, and I've never seen a reason to ride a mountain bike on tarmac. Hybrid would be perfect for roads and cycle paths.

  Thanks for the heads up on the sale.
  
  I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of a decent cycle review site? The missus is looking for a hybrid bike with a step-through frame, but there's too much in that sale to choose from! If anyone knows any of these bikes, can anyone please recommend anything in the sub £250 price bracket.
  
  Thanks :)

  The people on the forums are fairy helpful, post a question and you usually get a sensible response (unlike some other forums.....)

  There is a WSD version of this bike in the sale too. The next model up is £249 so within your budget.

  You don't need shocks around town. They just make the bike heavier and slower.
  Hopping up and down curbs is a straightforward and fun skill to learn.
