Trek 1999 TR-20

Advantages: Practically unbreakable
Disadvantages: Suspension needs improving

...! One of the pedals came off as i had cycled about 20 miles from home and i had to push it back. The list goes on really. I would sum the trek up as a great bike and to add to the good points it cost only £230 and i very lightweight. I recommend this bike and the women's model to anyone who wants a good bike that will last for years on end.... Read review

Be warned, if you are an old geyser returning to bikes after a long while, it is scary to be moving through traffic in the morning, and suddenly look down to see that you are at 28mph! 4 The Exciting Experience. Using the bike most days for 4 recent weeks has had its hairy moments. Forgetting to brake well before turning a corner has left me negotiating a junction at over 20mph, and that gets the heart racing a bit.
