Hello
I'm new here, and a complete bike novice. I'm looking at buying a reliable hybrid bike for my 11yo
daughter in the $400-ish price range. Most bikes I've seen feature the Shimano Revo shifters (twist-
grip). A friend tells me to avoid these like the plague as they sieze-up. Can anyone confirm this?
So far we've looked at:
- Gitane Escape;
- Malvern Star Bayside;
- Raleigh C700; and
- Giant Cypress SE and Elwood SE Any recommendations? We're in Tassie, by the way. Any advice on
brands and components would be much appreciated.
Many thanks SS
