I own a Canadian tire(little better than walmart) bike.
I bought it 5 yrs ago, and spent $150 for it. It is a 21
speed, front suspension bike. I have a friend that has a
bike worth $5000, it is fron suspension and is a 21
speed bike.
When we go biking i can keep up with him. I also am able to
do more with my bike. He can not do extreme hills, or
extreme rough terain. If he tried, his frame would snap, it
is not designed for that. Me, i dont fear those hills or
rough spots.
I have spent about $100 for replacement of cables, tubes,
tires, front derailers and shifters.
He was able to get his bike, cus he works for a bike shop.
It cost him about half.
I have ridden his bike, and except that it is a bit lighter,
i dont notice a thing.
I could, at the time afford what i paid for. I am saving my
pennies to replace my bike with something better. I had a
walmart bike, and the frame snapped. I feel that i have been
going up in the world.
It isnt the bike that makes the rider. it is the rider that
makes the bike. you give a novice a realy good bike, and
itll rust up before they actually find out its capabilities.
If you give an expert rider a cheapie bike, itll
desintegrate as they ride. It will last longer, as they will
be replacing everything with something a bit better.
When you go buy a bike, dont go by brand, go by budget, and
your abilities. No sence spending lots of money when
something cheap will do.
Buy smart.... and ride hard.
