If it had a motor I would buy it. But jeesh that’s steep for a bike.
For a decent ebike you could easily add a thousand dollars.
You haven’t looked at bikes for a long, long time, have you?
Several experts (a co-worker’s husband being one, agreed) state you can get a good, solid pleasure bike for the $300-400 range. Cheaper is cheap, more is for specialists dead serious about road commuting.
I have a $2400 bike, an $1100 bike and a $300 bike.
The outward appearance of this bike is not necessarily a reflection of its quality.
I just bought a bike for $300 on sale. Original price tag was $500. But it’s exactly what I want and it’s huge! I’m 5’9” and I felt like I was riding a tinkertoy on everything else. Best of all.....I love it.
