I am looking at buying a road bike for me and
a mountain bike for my 18 year old son. I am
looking at taking it seriously and will clock
up quite a few miles a week, (need to loose
the weight) and want to buy a good mountain
bike that will last my son.
I have seen some good priced bikes in
Halfords, but wondered if they were any good,
anyone have any thoughts or experiences?
Thanks for your help.... |

Have you bought the bikes yet? 
I got an Apollo mountain bike from Halfords
last week.
FS.26S
Loving it so far.
Seats a bit hard on it but that can be sorted
pretty cheaply.
I just got it there and then when I was at
the store and took it home to build myself.
I think Halfords offer a free build and
safety check service. Not sure if you have to
wait a few days for your bike if you go for
that option though. |

Hi
Have you tried any of the Decathlon stores?
They have very helpful staff and will advise
you on what to buy without ripping you off. |

Yea, that's true. I got an Apollo Kalamunda
mountain bike from Halfords back in 1992 and
it's still going.
The frames a little bit heavier compared to
my new bike, it hasn't got front or rear
suspension and there's no disc brake but it's
not like any of those things are necessities. |
