I am relatively new to the "real" bike scene. I been slugging around on my old gimme Mongoose, patching it together and having a little fun riding a few trails here and there.
My nephew moved back to town. He is one of those cross training triathlon kind of guys. He has been asking me to ride with him and a couple of his friends in the canyon(s). Aside from fact I am 25 years older than him and his buddies I am about thirty pounds overweight. I am going to ride the Mongoose for now, I can use the extra work while I scout around for a better bike.
I would like an opinion on these bikes and their prices. My budget is 2 kids starting college.
Specialized Hard Rock 150.00 3-4 years old, no frills
Cannondale F300 335.00 26" w/disc brakes (this is the upper limit)
Diamondback Full suspension 100.00
Genesis V2100 100.00
Iron Horse Yakuza Disc brake 150.00
Schwinn 700c 175.00 NEW bike
1995 Fuji 100.00 this bike needs pedals tires and some other parts I couldn't see in the pic.
I don't know anymore about these bikes other than this.
