Hi, I really can't find this bike anywhere for a £100, I have looked and looked. The link above sends you to a website telling you about the rockrider but doesn't sell it. Please help!!

This bike is featured on a few sites but as far as I can tell none of them will actually sell you it online. It's pretty pointless to give a great review to a product that isn't really available.

As Jas said, look on Decathlon.....the bike featured in the show is end of line at £80 but there's a newer version still at £100. I have a more expensive mountain bike for serious use but want a commuting bike for gettin me in to work...couple of miles.....was looking at this model anyway but it's obviously better than I thought. Thx GS for reviewing this

Which site seab? Decathlon doesn't have 5.0 available, have very few stores and don't deliver nationally so really not much use :-(

My son had his mountain bike stolen - had decent suspension, disc brakes etc...since all he uses a bike for is going to the park to play football, to and from school or friends houses, he was happy to look at a budget bike. Bought one of these from Decatholon in Reading (only opended Oct 2010)...he loves it....likes the gear change (Shimano), only 14kg (no suspension to weigh it down).....if you want a bike that is a bike, go for this...if you are into serious off road then I would look at something else...but for normal use and a bit of riding in the park, this is absolutely fine...and if this gets stolen, buying another is less than my house insurance excess and matey who steals bikes, would probably overlook this one since it has no suspension...a decent bike at budget prices

I bought a rockrider from the Decathlon website for 99 quid. I paid an additional 5 quid to have it delivered to my house and it arrived 5 days later. I'm impressed. I have a Rocky Mountain hi-spec mountain bike but just wanted something to use around town. It has always annoyed me that decent bikes seem to costs 300 quid plus so I was intrigued by the Gadget show review of a sub 100 quid bike. I've been riding it around town for a month now and love it. It's light (in a good way) the gears and brakes were set up perfectly and it came with free front and back lights! Obviously it's early days but I can see no reason why I shouldn't get 10 happy years out of this bike. Well done Decathlon.

There is no little button saying add to basket or anything? How do you buy it?
Report as inappropriateLemonJelly8709 April 2011
I found it lol.... I bought one-came in 3 days. Very impressed,comes basically fully assembled but I needed an alan key to put the handle bars straight... It's great for begginers, very lightweight and very affordable.
