Hello everyone from Georgia, Tbilisi
I'm public transport guy, I simply don't like cars but now I decided to use bike for everyday transportation.
The distance from my home to work is around 5.4 KM, so driving bike feels comfortable without any exaust.
but sometimes my riding environment will be a mountain road...
My budget for bike consists of 6 X 100 $
for 600 $ my fav. choice right now is Bergamont Platoon 7.8 (2008 year), used but very good condition.
other one is Trek 6700 (2012), but really bad condition...
Bergamont Platoon 7.8
Fork: Magura Menja 85XC 100mm Lockout
Front and rear derailleur: Shimano Deore XT
Crank: Shimano FC-M542
Cassette: Shimano CS-HG50
Front/Rear/Rims Hub: Mavic Crossride Disc
Tires: Ralph Evolution New, 26x2,10
Control: Shifter Shimano Deore LX
Brake: Magura Luise (Air/Hydraulic) (160mm)
Handlebar: Tattoo Pro Lite OS
Stem: Stem Pro 18 OS
Headset: FSA Orbit ZS-4
Saddle: Tattoo Pro Lite
Seatpost: Tattoo Pro Carbon 3K
wight: 11,1 kg
Trek 6700
specs: 2012 6700 - Bike Archive - Trek Bicycle
Horrible IMHO...
I don't want to buy 2014 Edition, new bike with low end Shimano/Sram details - for example Cube Aim Disc 26...
I prefer old used ones with better details (Shimano XT, Magura Manje 85XC, Magura Luise Hydraulic Brakes etc.) especially if it looks like new (Bergamont Platoon 7.8)
and one more question, why I shouldn't buy FS on my demand?
Is it stupid idea to ride FS in a city?
I'm newbie so forgive me ^^
