Thanks,

I'm in Hampshire, not sure if there are any members down this way?

I'm happy to pay the money for the right bike but I am well aware that I am not educated enough on these bikes to be able to be able to spot a good bike without some expert help! And I can't afford to make a mistake. I would rather pay extra for a great bike and be safe in the knowledge than end up with something that's going to be a money pit.

I guess I'll keep an eye on this forum for anything that comes up for sale!
