Hi all,

I'm raising money for a kids charity that i'm close to through work. It's to give kids with life threatening illnesses a special day or wish. It gives the families of these kids a chance to get away from the mundane hospital visits and a nice memory that they can keep for a lifetime.

The challenge is to do the Manchester 100 mile bike ride on 3rd September.

If anyone is willing to spare a little cash, no matter how little it all makes a difference for such a small charity.

Vitus are great bikes, however im a Specialized fan and have to say the Rockhopper is a great bike.

Great for the new rider, and also very upgradeable for when your skills out do the standard parts.

If you want a safe bet I agree with Saint Viper, Specialized Rockhopper is a cracking bike to start with.

Looking at building myself a bargain, custom hardtail with bargains I can find on the internet.

First: Frame.

I've set myself a budget of no more than £50 for any parts and i'll have to be shrewd and very patient.

Anyone know of any good second hand frames for sale?

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Apologies for coming in late, but at 650 quid, the Boardman HT Pro is an incredibly well specced bike.
