I think $400 is reasonable especially if it is branded. In the 70's I remember spending $200 for a sports model. I know you can get no names for cheaper but always prefer to spend a little more if I'm getting quality.
Currently I get my excercise from walking around but riding would be more fun.
riding would be more fun.
Like this? lol
Giant is a premium brand, its expensive.
Better keep inside the house or put GPS tracker inside.
i dont cycle to work because the coupon parking for my bicycle is extremely expensive. Every half hour is $5. Its cheaper for me to take a taxi to work
and cycle during weekends.
For exercise, u may oso consider foldable bike...advantage can fold to smaller size and tuck away in storeroom...performance wise of course not as good as full bike...
Or get second hand from Togoparts...foldable or not...for instance something like this... http://www.togoparts.com/marketplace/ad_details.php?aid=450388
Togoparts sometime hav pretty good deal...but mus do some homework on de pricing...
When I was young I had one of those foldable bikes with smaller wheels. It was a very strange bicycle. If you wanted to brake you had to peddle in the reverse direction. One thing I notice is that with smaller wheels you have to peddle more.
I thought that good bicycles were all made in US & Europe, until I saw the report on CNN about this Taiwanese company.
99% of all bicycle frames are made in Taiwan/China and that includes the top of the range carbon frames.
95% of all bicycles use Shimano components and these are made all over the world Singapore included.
yep...almost all the labour is outsourced.
The Italian component company Campagnolo is probably the only manufacturer that has not surrendered to globalisation.
