ScottCM Posted August 16, 2013 Share Hi guys, as i dont know much about mtb i weas wondering if this is a ok deal. i know its not a disc brake and not a 29er etc, but as a starter bike just so i can get out thewre with my son's while i save for a proper bike what do you guys think? the owner works with me and wants R750 for it. i think its ok but hten again i dont really know what all to look for in a mtb as i'm normally a roadie. apparently its a 21speed and changes gears on the handle grip(which i dont know if this is a good thing or not as i'm starting out) advice appreciated.%5Burl=http%3A//s1252.photobucket.com/user/ScottRSA/media/Bike1.jpg.html%5D Edited August 16, 2013 by ScottC-M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taps Posted August 16, 2013 Share As long as you son is less than 5 years and just rides in the park you may be OK, but don't consider that a MTB. It's almost a bike as it has two wheels. Not much to say beyond that, just NEVER take it offroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime Posted August 16, 2013 Share Maybe post this on the bikes for enduro thread since it has a coil shock. Those folks will be very helpful. Lexx, M L, divernick and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted August 16, 2013 Share Stay far away. Nothing will put you off riding quite like a nasty bike. Put that 750 towards the savings plan for a proper one. JWF and Milkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted August 16, 2013 Share Seems it's unanimous then... First time I've ever seen a thread where everyone agrees. ian32 and BlinkFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 16, 2013 Share Listen to divernick, he has built plenty bikes and if he says no its sound advice. divernick and Journosergio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
