Second hand bike under $300
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2018 9:58 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm new here, and unfortunately don't know much about bikee, but I have done some basic research. I've had a cheap kmart bike for many years, but recently hired a bike to ride around and enjoyed how much easier it was to ride. Hence, I am interested in buying a better-than-kmart bike, where the gears ACTUALLY work.
Through some research, I've narrowed it down to a hybrid bike, and looking at Norco, Merida, and Giant? I'm a small 5'2" girl, 47kg.
The purpose of this bike is just to be able to have a nicer ride around parks like Bicentennial park. Will ride once a month (realistically).
I know that people say it's better off spending more on a nicer bike for a better ride, etc, but at the moment, I'd like to start with a budget second hand bike to gauge my enthusiasm. If I do stick to riding and end up doing it more often, I may look further but otherwise, I dont want to risk not riding and wasting money.
I'm based in Sydney, and have found a couple on gumtree - could I please get your thoughts? Any helpful input would be appreciated
