Apollo or Avanti? Please help someone rediscovering the joys of cycling.
Hello,
I haven't ridden a bike for about 5 years, and I was rather younger then, so I don't know much about the industry. I'm currently looking at two bikes: the Apollo LSX 1.1 and Avanti Escape, both of which I can get for about $350. If anyone could help me make a decision by detailing any differences between the two or problems/experiences with either? I'm going to be using the bike primarily for commuting to uni. and travelling around town - so bike paths, roads etc. Thanks in advance, Krit. |

Re: Apollo or Avanti? Please help someone rediscovering the joys of cycling.
Are both these bikes new or second hand?
 I looked for the Apollo bicycle on http://www.apollobikes.com/, but could not find the Apollo LSX 1.1. I believe that i am in the same situation as others, we can not compare the bikes without looking at the specs. Also, if one or both are second hand, no one can compare the bikes without looking at them or at the least having an accurate description of the wear and tear on the bike.  And i did not forget my smilies. |

i believe if you get a decent bike, it will be more enjoyable to ride + more durable i got a 12 year old Apollo Himalaya... and i still got it for commuting duties just got it reconditioned, it still ride beautifully on my commute my advice, get something with a decent frame.... both those bikes are good value but maybe consider something a bit more upspec Apollo Independant is pretty good value Looking around for a friend and this bike is right on for the money... even better value than this year's giant range http://www.apollobikes.com/images/Independent.jpg $679 |
