Well, that's where I got my bike. It was nothing fancy. To be frank I needed a bike just to put a kit on, so any bike with enough space between the pedals and the frame was perfect.
For that kind of money you could have bought a decent hybrid, say a Trek FX or Specialized Sirrus, that would give you at least 20 years of runs to Krogers with just a bit of annual maintenance (that you could learn to do yourself). An it would be a lot more pleasant to ride.MotownBikeBoy said:Would I ride it on rough trails? No. Around town for light workouts or "run to Krogers and pickup milk" runs? - sure.
How long will it last? Depends on what breaks and how much effort I wanna put into it.
True enough, but like I said ... the point was to see what I could do with that level of bike. It was a project, not a purchase.oldbobcat said:For that kind of money you could have bought a decent hybrid, say a Trek FX or Specialized Sirrus, that would give you at least 20 years of runs to Krogers with just a bit of annual maintenance (that you could learn to do yourself).

Hey, if it makes you happy . . .
I kinda think the same... These cheap box-store bikes are often made from thick walled hi-teen steel...maydog said:I believe the OP was looking for a platform to put a gasoline engine / moped kit on. In this case, walmart bikes are ideal. A gas engine destroys the asthetic of bicycling with the noise, smell, vibration, balance and appearance. Why run a quality bike, as long as the wally world bike has wheels and functional brakes you are golden.
