boys bike.....questions?




Teresa E


I am looking to buy two cheap used bikes for my boys to play on. Someone online has two boy bike for sale but they do not have pictures. The price is very cheap but the bikes are a little far from here so i want to see about what they look like before I purchase them.

Do you know where I can see a picture of a Venom Murray Blue 21 speed AND a Next Rampage Hardtail orange system 20? I also want to know how much they cost new. Any help will be apprecaited. Thanks



Answer
you'll spend more at the bike shop maintaining these bikes, than you will in purchasing them. unfortunately, this is not a good time of year to purchase a kids bike. many shops are sold out on kid bikes. however, the maintenance cost of a cheap bike, especially a used one that has no record of how it is maintained, will run higher in the long run, than the higher initial purchase, and typically lower maintenance, of a better quality bike purchased at a bike shop..

Mountain Bike Question?

i am looking for a mountain bike to trail ride with in palo duro canyon in texas. what is a normal wheel size for off road use? 20 or 26 inch? what would be a cheap but good bike to use?


Answer
26" is the standard for modern off road bikes. 20" is reserved for BMX and kids bikes.

some decent brands that are cheap are Diamondback and Ironhorse. Dicks and sports authority sells them. if you want something simple that will last a while and doesnt require much maintainence, get a hardtail for $300-$500. a decent dual suspension bike for a beginner will run $600-$800. anything more than that, and you get the "real" parts. things that are serviceable and adjustable.
