Is it a good idea to buy a bike online? |
i was thinking of buy this awsome bike i found online to buy but i was wondering if it was going to come all put together or if i was going to have to put it together Like everyone is saying IF you know what you are doing, great prices are out there on-line. you have to assemble it yourself. a good idea is to ship it to your local bike shop and have them assemble and tune it up for you Only do that if you know exactly what you are getting. It may be sized differently from other bikes if you've never ridden that model. At least go to a bike shop and test ride one. If you buy it there you also wouldn't have to assemble it yourself. To answer your question, no, it doesn't come assembled and yes, either you or a shop will have to put it together. Just like anything you buy online, it can save you money IF you know EXACTLY what you are looking for. This is no reflection on you, but if you are asking a question like this then it is likely that there are some things about a bike that you aren't exactly sure about. This situation almost always results in disappointment, and this anger is transferred to the seller when it isn't their fault, or their problem. 27 years in the industry Only if you know what it is you're buying. I'd never buy used online. And a bike is too big too ship already fully put together. of course not, you dont buy your food online do you? Bikes are food for the soul. Always, repeat always ride the bike before you buy. If it doesnt fit correct you are now into mandatory cycle knowledge, zone ie: crank arm lengths, stem length and height,seatpost height and length. A ton of good info. So if u pay your hard earned $$$ you are stuck, and most likely will loose when you go to get rid of it. Dont dont dont I know colorado cyclist, performance, nashbar, bikes online and many others sell bikes. All fine companies and I have used all of them. But, to be able to go to the shop, ride a couple styles and brands and feel the difference, takes very little time and you know you got it right. If you are expierenced cyclist, and know size of everything you want, then perfectly ok, but then you wouldnt be asking us. you would do it. |
