My riding buddy, /u/Zen_Brony rides a Vilano that he purchased from Amazon. He's got amazing amounts of miles/Kms into it and loves it. It was something like $300 new and though my new bike is shinier and lighter, his has the integrity of being inexpensive and bomber. Oh, and his cost $2200 less than mine.
Hello all, I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. I will be having a baby in Late may (possibly early June.) After my initial healing period I would like to start biking and join the local cycling group that meets up once a week. I expect to get out on the bike 2 times a week, 3 at the most. I would also like to go on charity rides for fun. I am currently preggo so I don't need the bike right now.
I want a new road bike from the trek store, the Lexa C in Aloe green. They are selling it for 699.00, a great price I think and they can fit the bike for me at the store. BUT my SO thinks thats too much for something I "may never take out of the garage."
His suggestion was to find something a little cheaper and ride it for a year to be sure I'll actually keep up with cycling. After that spending more money on a better bike seems more reasonable to him.
A less expensive option is on Amazon, Vilano Aluminum Road Bike 21 Speed. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EFTQ10/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3FG34B8QFH0V8&coliid=I6PJOLE3C6QYB&psc=1
Does anyone own this bike? Have you had luck selling it later? Is it total garbage???? Am I going to spend more money getting it fitted and replacing stock parts on this cheaper bike than it would cost me to buy the trek?
I think I may look to see if anyone is advertising a used bike at the local repair shop, there are a few smaller shops around me. I've been dissapointed with Craigslist so far, most of the bikes are too large for me as I am 5'5".
Thanks for any help
edit After reading some older posts on here I'm deciding that the Vilano is a bad choice. I'm looking at bikes direct. Perhaps the Lightning DT or the Gravity Avenue A would be better options.
