Hi everyone, my name's Eric. I'm kinda new to the biking thing, I recently bought a bike to ride around with my daughter and now I'm hooked and am looking to buy a nice bike. I don't wanna spend too much, if I can keep under $300 that would be nice...any suggestions? Thanks.:wink:

Welcome Earthling :r2d2:


For 300 bucks get used - Lots of good bikes are sold through the board in the classifieds. Or upgrade what you have. I turned a $260 bike into a $1300 bike with used parts for around 300 dollars. The upgrades included everything except for the frame and brakes.

Come out to the Lock 4 race today - we'll be the guys in the light green and black camo. Sometimes bikes are sold at races by individuals.

You can get a lot of bike for 300 there. Be careful. If it dives and shifts like a dream, it still may not me your fitted size. You will notice all kind of pains after the sale. Get an knowledgeable friend to help you. Mike- Hermitage
