Charge Cooker 3 — £1,199.99 £618.42

With close to 50 percent off, this rowdy 27.5+ hardtail from Charge is hard to pass up. Spinning on meaty, 2.8″ wide WTB Trailblazer tyres, this plump rubber should provide enough rear-end cush’ for even the hackiest of riders.

B’Twin Ultra 700 — £750 £599

At £599 for a Shimano 105 drivetrain equipped bike, this budget road bike from Decathlon’s own brand B’Twin presents ridiculously good value for money. 

While the overall build is nothing to write home about, the handsome alloy frame and dependable groupset make this an ideal platform for future upgrades.

Saracen Avro 1 — £1,699.99 £899.99

If you fancy getting a bit more gnarly in 2017 then perhaps you should consider a ‘cross bike. Although the Saracen Avro has been discontinued for 2017, the previous year’s model still presents excellent value for money with a full carbon frameset and Tiagra 10-speed groupset.

Creme CafeRacer Solo Ladies 3spd — £599.99 £307.79

This mixte style bike from Creme is the most practical of the bunch, coming with a porteur rack, mudguards and front and rear lighting, all for just £307. The three-speed drivetrain will also be easy to maintain and the upright position will make for some very casual pootling. We’ll take blue please.
