Hı to all here, ı planning to biking for fitness and fun. Riding to countryside on road and some ofroad biking. Off road biking would be easy and ridable paths . And my search brought me to a point to start this with ghost cross 1300 or Focus MARACAS. What do you think about this as an experienced bikers ? Would this be a good choice you think ?

either should be fine.

personally, I don't like aluminum frames, or suspension - but that is a personal thing.

You have to start somewhere.

Bicycle prices in the UK seem very high.

Europe is almost double price on everything compare to states.....reason ı prefer these 2 is they are less costly...and good for starter....
