I need some advice on buying a bicycle. Money is kinda tight so i cant spend a lot. Started out thinking mountain bike but have kinda switched to a hybrid. Walmart has a Schwinn hybrid that looks pretty good and has good reviews for $244. They also have a Huffy for $119. I am prolly gonna go to a bike shop in town and see if they might have something used at a price thats in my budget. Anyone have any pointers or advice? I will probably do most if not all of my riding on paved roads and would like to ride 20 to 50 miles a week. Maybe more once i get going.

Thanks

Saw a couple on craigslist. A little more than i can spend right now.

A road bike might be better if you plan to ride on the road. :-)
[Reply]

completely understand.

Thought about it but might ride a trail once in a while.
[Reply]

trail riding is great and works me out more than road riding does.

but it has also given me more scars than road riding has as well.

Craigslist all the way at your price range. Buy a road bike or a dutch style commuter.

What is your height? Any idea what size bike you need? I have a cannondale road bike I have been thinking of putting on the bay. I would be willing to trade for cigars, and could bring to EPIC if you wanted to try it out.

5'10" or 11" not sure if i have enough cigars to trade for a bike though. How much would you like to get for it?

Maybe something like this- http://www.rscycle.com/2008-Iron-Hor...19&category=56

Iron Horse makes great bikes. Good specs on the one in the link above. Also, I've used RS before and they were good.

I am 5'10 or a hair under that. Long story but basically I have two cannondales that have the same frame. A 54cm six13. http://www.cannondale.com/usa/usaeng...ix13-6-(triple)
We could work something out. I don't want a lot of $ for it.

If you can get a Cannondale, do it. I owned a Cannondale mountain bike, best bike I've owned. :-)

PM on the way. Thanks
