tri-dreams Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Hi I am new to cycling and i'm looking to purchase a road bike. What would you recommend (dont want to spend over R10K)? Would going the 2nd hand route be better in the beginning? What size bike should I be looking for? (I am a 1.73 tall male) Thanks for the help in advance
fandacious Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 well, for 10k you can get a cracker of a 2nd hand bike... browse the for sale section and ask as many questions as possible. you'll find most of the hubbers are really keen to help out newbies and i'm sure that before the week is over you will be riding your dream bike! good luck and welcome to the hub!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Likewise - congrats! Also, looks like there've been some real crackers on www.thegumtree.co.za recently - worth a look there, although you have to trawl through ALL the other sports equipment as well. Looks like you're going to be a medium frame guy. But for 10k, you can get a helluva nice bike. Go 2nd hand. Best choice, and you don't have to combat the recent price-hikes that the new bike market has recently undergone. GOOOD LUCK!
