Do you all insure your bikes on your contents insurance or get dedicated insurance? And who with?
I just bought an el cheapo ProBike for £120, alu frame. Since I will be leaving it at the Train Station every weekday, I think I will get it insured. any suggestions?

My bike (2003 Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc) is only covered my our contents insurence, and only if its locked up in the garage/store. Which it is allmost all the time im not out on it. And i lock with specialized's best code lock even if im just geting paper from the village shop.
- I ahve though of getting it insured, but im not sure its worth it. Basic rule of thumb with insurence is if you can afford to lose it, dont insure it.
- Insurence companys make money, therefore, on average, you lose out!

Erm, not sure if you're a troll, but posting your mobile number on a forum is generally not a good idea....
Back from the dead!?
Why is your partner selling his big? Don't you play with it anymore?
no way thats the exact same as me!!6'2" and ten stone is a BMI of under 18 which is technically underweight. You don't need mountain biking, you need a gym to build yourself up. For comparison I'm 5'11" and weigh a smidge over 12 stone, and I still get accused of being thin (my BMI=23).
anyhow anyone got a recomendation of a bike for no more that £400
...
oh sorry should have looked at the date of the Thread.. opps. but while im here anyone got any recons for £400 bike for me.

BMI is pretty meaningless isn't it? BM is fat/muscle/water/bone/tissue - and the composition is surely relevant to ideal weight? An Index requires personal measurement imo.
For £400 minimise your "extras" - get a hardtail with front sus and V brakes so the bigger part of your layout goes into the frame. The frame is everything. I would also look into geting a quality second hand bike for that money.
what do people think to this?

I think you should go check out Evans Cycles:

There's probably one near you, and they'll let you have a test, and will be able to give you plenty of advice. Plus you get your 1st service free from them. I just bought a Trek 7.2 for commuting from them and it's exactly what I needed.
My folks' neighbour who is REALLY into his cycling - he has a carbon fibre framed racer worth over £1k recommended them to me.
Well, it certainly looks the part, but like b0redom says, a ride before you buy is the only way to be sure the bike (esp frame geometry) suits you. Imho, a bike is not just about the fancy list of bits you get for your money; you have to be sure your body isn't compensating (knees, back or wrists) for something that isn't quite right. When a bike fits, you want to be on it and it won't end up in the shed.
