Advantages: fast, light, high spec for cheap price Disadvantages: None
be increased quite significantly to get anything that would last.
I spent hours researching, joining forums (I highly recommend Bike Radar) etc in order to find the ideal bike in my budget.
Whilst taking my trusty steed of a mountain bike to Pauls Cycles in Dereham I thought that I'd better have a quick look at the small selection of racers in the shop. It was there I saw it?? The Trek 1200 in black and red.
I knew the Trek name and knew that they were generally a good, quality brand. That was it though.
The price was £799 which was way over my budget, but because it was a 2006 model I could have something knocked off it. The bike was described as 'shop soiled' since it had fallen over and had a tiny scratch on the frame.

Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages. Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.
Among the first of this year?s summer blockbusters has been J J Abram?s new Star Trek movie, which has been widely regarded as having successfully brought this iconic franchise into a new century and to a new generation.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive ? Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post wrote a prayer of thanks to the ?Lord of Star Trek? for a movie that ?has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still relevant franchise?; the Daily Mail salutes ?the most outstanding prequel of all time?; and the Times celebrates ?a dazzling and beautiful rebirth? of Star Trek. The reviewers on Ciao so far give the film a full 5 stars, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gives it 8.4/10 from over 75,000 ratings.

Advantages: All the original cast return. Disadvantages: Can be slow in parts.
After the surprise cancellation of Star Trek in 1969 whilst it was in it's third season, the opportunity to resurrect Star Trek, following the more recent success of a certain science fiction film called Star Wars, was hard to resist. Paramount had a dilemma, how could they bring back the series in such a way that the audiences would take to this. The answer was simple, a follow on series called Star Trek: Phase II. Production designs were drawn up, scripts written, new sets were built and the original cast were reunited, well nearly all of them as Leonard Nimoy had originally refused to appear as Spock. At the eleventh hour, Paramount decided that the focus should not be a TV series but a big budget film that could rival Star Wars. This allowed all the cast including Nimoy as Spock to once again take their places on board the newly ...
