Is this bike worth 拢130?

or $260 to our american friends.

It comes with free lights, a bike 'computer' and free servicing for a few weeks. I'm only going to use it for commuting and light trail riding - nothing serious.

If this is the bike for you, it fits you and it is the best you can afford, then buy it as it seems to be a much better spec than many bikes at this price.

Remember though, you are only spending 拢130 to buy a bike (and there's nothing wrong with that as I have bought a bike for 拢1.50) and you will probably only get 拢130 worth of bike.

The components, frame and forks are all very good for road work ans a little light off road work.

The tyres seem a bit strange as the machine seems to be presented as an off road machine fitted with half and half tyres.
Several of us bike riders got together several years ago and agreed that compromise is no good. Semi slicks are NOT slicks. Semi aero means NOT aero, etc etc, etc, so check out those tyres.

If you buy the bike, and there seems to be no reason not to, I really hope you enjoy it and it gives you many years of great pleasure.

seems like you're getting quite a lot for the price. there's most likely some quality sacrificed as a result! keep in mind, with any sale, theres no such thing as free! either you pay for it, or something else is sacrificed! I'm additionaly suspect of this, as the specs are very non-specific! they say Shimano components, but which Shimano? they make very cheap components in addition to their higher-end, better known gruppos. I didn't read any of the user reviews. I'd suggest checking those out.

I am selling a nearly new bike for 拢50.00
look on a site called stuff for sale type in your area and away you go

Its very nice. Buy it! its worth the money
