I'm looking for a new bike and I'm considering using the cycle to work scheme before the changes come in. I'm looking for a cross country hardtail for £1000. What would you suggest?

what are the changes to the c2w scheme??

What C2W changes ?

bit like what tyre shud i use on that price bracket there are loads of great bikes depending on what you are going to use it for

though you cant go far wrong with snakey's suggestion

This looks like a nice bike for the money

shame you have to buy it from Halfords

Something to do with changes to the tax relief. Looks like we won't get the bikes tax free, only got it third hand from here.....

It's enough reason to make me sign up again though!

I like that genesis, great looking.

I know it's an open question. I have a marin long travel hardtail at the moment thats more burly than svelt. I'm no racing snake but I like the idea of something a little more focussed.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Sorry, meant VAT free.
