Hi bike enthusiasts I need your help. I am new to the sport

I am hoping to get some advise on buying a second hand MTBike.

 

I once rode a cruiser bomber bike that was so enjoyable and am looking for a second hand bike that is comfortable for cruising like that and is sturdy enough for offroad, and that will last.

 

What brands should I avoid-where gears creak and get worn out easily...pieces break..

 

Looking for something around R2500-R3000 second hand .

 

No idea what brands are good quality and comfortable cruising.

 

Kind Regards 

Jean

The only thing that differentiate brands is the frame. All brands will have either Shimano or Sram parts. Both are good quality and both will creak and break if worn out or not looked after.

 

The trick is not to look for a brand that is prone to breaking, but rather a bike that has been looked after.
