If you are considering purchasing a new bike and are
not sure which to choose I can recommend the C.B. Urban 300.It is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike.
Having an aluminium frame it is light and easy to ride
(Make sure you get the correct size frame)
The Shimano gears I have found to be excellent,the
brakes are very good to.
I chose this particular model over the Urban 100 & 200
due to the better specification of parts and the front
suspension which enhances both comfort on road and offroad.
It is ideal for treking on trails or country pathways.

When checking for the best prices try the web sites which is where I purchased mine from.
One site has delivery included.
I have not tried all the bikes out there around this
price range but I am 100% happy with this one.
I paid £267.99 if you can beat this you would do well.

Last point only one thing required for this bike :
Padded shorts a must for long distances.

Happy cycling.

A little information about the comfort and durability along with why you like/dislike the bike will help gain the higher ratings. Try to make your reviews look less like a list and read a few other members reviews to just get ideas.Please do let me know if you add more and I will re-read.Fionaxx

Sounds more like you are selling it rather than reviewing it! I cycle to work every day from South London to the city! My bike was £800 but it is very special! Thanks for the op. x aggapimou
