Hi Scottish Dan
,
I welcome your rights to an opinion but it is wrong to spread negativity on forums when you have no basis for what you are saying.
I am a fitness trainer specialising in cycle training for beginner / intermediates in Sydney. I have been looking for a good value, entry level bike for my customers for ages and there is nothing that I have found that is better than the mountain bike with Shimano Gears that was on sale for $99 at
www.oo.com.au. There is even a $79 bike that I have recommended as great value to some of my beginner trainers.
24 of my customers have purchased that bike from
www.oo.com.au over the past 4 months and none of them have had any problems. My nephew had a minor problem which was caused in the delivery and that was fixed in a matter of days.
Perhaps get your facts straight before you lead people down the wrong path.
