CRT Mountain Bikes ???

[GForce001]

Recently came across CRT mountain bikes available from Layby Cycles in Silverton see: https://www.facebook.com/Layby-Cycles-1220574534709354/ . Unable to find any reviews for these bikes online and want to find out how they compare with other entry level bicycles that go for a similar price like Totem or Raleigh??

Hi

 

I went to visit them. The bikes look ok. They give a 1 year guarantee on the frame, but the components have no support.

 

I can't say what quality these branded Shimano components are, but it seems good for the price.

 

I'm still looking around and asking around - I don't actually know anything, so I ask cyclists.

 

I think you should go visit and ask questions. I want to ask them for a booklet though. I forgot that.

I wouldn't bother with these bikes hey. Looks like seriously bottom of the barrel parts. In most of their pics the bikes aren't even set up right - saddle noses pointing up into the air (yes, it's an easy fix but that doesn't inspire confidence for how the rest of the bike was put together).

 

Geometry looks seriously dated, and with that sort of suspension I honestly think you'll be better off with a rigid fork.

If I'm looking just to ride along with my young daughters, would this be OK? I'm not a weekend warrior even. Just looking for something with two wheels that can get dusty now and then. I seriously want to pay as little as possible. Am I better off elsewhere? And where can one find specs on these CRT  bikes
