What is the best road bike under 1000? |
What is the best road bike under 1000? Well, I see that the answer of the above "bike wrench" (I thought that was a derogatory term!) is very good advice for sure. What I have to add is that there are many used bikes out there. I mean slightly used. You see, many people upgrade, or have a baby, or something or other happens which causes the person to sell a slightly used high-quality bike for cheap. (That's how I got mine, a $1300 bike new-(0 miles) for $800 (the guy had a mortgage to pay)). I found mine on www.craigslist.com Craigslist is a free classifieds site. Once you are familiar with what components and frame etc you want, you also need to know what size bike you will need (go get fitted professionally). Then you can start searching for your bicycle. Another option is Ebay, if you like bidding. The honest answer is at that price point they are all pretty much the same go for the best frame and the components you dislike least, then upgrade as you go. Pretty much any of the name brands are a safe bet, hit all their web sites and compare, become an informed consumer before you buy then test ride as many as you can. also look at last years models closeouts a good value, you tend to get more for your $$$$$$$. I'm a bike wrench A slightly used bike could be your best bet as mentioned earlier...as long as you know what components you need, it shouldn't be too difficult. One brand that gets a lot of good pub up here in the great white (near) north is Surly.............they now offer a complete bike for $999.........I've ridden one and enjoyed it completely.... The best answer is the bike you feel most comfortable on thats under the price range. comfort will help you relax and perform better on your machine. If you find something that is much more confortable for more $$, you can always try out and fit yourself on a new bike, then go to craigslist.org to find a used one. try roadbikereview.com here's a sample search http://www.roadbikereview.com/asrcrx.asp... http://www.roadbikereview.com/asrcrx.asp... |
