£300 max, if possible. I've got a friend in a shop, who said he can get it on trade for me - which might make things a little better. I'm not after being cool - I'm after getting to work and back, fast, without having to fork out for petrol. Been doing it on a general MTB, until a month ago, when it gave up. It's f**king HORRID to ride - so I think I'll just get a new one - in a new catagory, rather than fix it up.
