October 1st, 2007What to look for when buying and how much to pay?
What’s a good bike? A good bike is complete. All the body parts (including seat/s) are present and in decent shape (panels are not badly dented or rusted.) The external electrical components and/or gauges are there (speedometers, headlight, taillight, maybe turn signals, and horn.) On anything older than a Vespa P-series scooter the external bits may be difficult and expensive to replace, so a nice running scooter may be a good deal, but it’s still going to cost you some $’s to put it all back together.

October 1st, 2007Buy Your Bike in a Bike Shop or a Discount Store?
I’d suggest the bike shop if you can afford it. The bikes arrive boxed at both kinds of stores, and have to be assembled and tuned. Generally, the discount store gives you the bike in a box, or pays someone who has little or no education in bicycles to assemble it for you. What generally happens is that some of the bearings are not adjusted properly. They are often shipped too tight from the factory, and will grind themselves up in a short time if not adjusted. In almost all cases, the discount store bikes are heavier, but considerably less expensive. However, when properly adjusted, even the most inexpensive bikes can give you many years of enjoyable service.
