TREK 4300 DISC
I bought this bike around 4 months ago, in this period it has done 700 miles without so much as breaking down on me, that being said I only use for commuting to work, even though the cycle is classed as a mountain bike, if used off road it would be in need of repair within a couple of hours heavy use the 4300 is a really good bike for someone who is just getting back into cycling/exercising ... ...here they are

Quick review of Trek 4300 Disc
I have the 2008 model of this bike, and after riding it both on and off road for the past few months I have been unable to fault it. The frame is incredibly light, the gear change is flawless and the disc brakes are superb, very responsive. The front suspension is a little too hard for my liking, but it is more than bearable. The thick tyres are brill, and I have not yet had a puncture, which is very impressive for me.
For £350, I don't think you can go wrong with this bike. It's excellent value for money and I certainly don't think you can find a better quality bike for less money. The customer service I have had from Trek has been very impressive. ...
