I want a mountain bike..
I'm willing to spend around £200 for starters. Can anyone recommend anywhere to buy something decent?
oh yeh, it will be primarily used on road!

T'is true - £200 wont get you a lot but £400 will - at least it did in my case. I got a £250 Saracen to start me off which having done thousands of on/off road miles is still going strong - so much so my best friend is taking it to get him started.
Go to a local shop is my suggestion - discuss the kind of riding you're going to do and what they can stock for you thats best for your budget...
I was doing 60miles a week on my Saracen never had a problem...
Oh and BTW I came off my new Claud Butler at a shade under 20mph on Monday. Big thanks to the NHS who have strapped me up... Nothing broken though! Hurrah! Fantastic graze / cut scars and very odd sized shoulders at present... Thinking of doing Notradam tours until the swelling goes down...
Buy a helmet!!
