Anyone know a good shop for used bikes? My friend had hers stolen recently. She’s looking for a simple woman’s frame with moustache handlebars (she wants to ride upright, no drop handlebars) that is under 100. Current listings on craigslist are too high for the intended use. Thanks in advance!
you will not find a used bike for less than $100 at any “bike shop” unless it’s somewhere super sketchy like velomakak. By the way, do not buy anything from velomakak. ever.
Somehow she picked up a bike for $30 last year and paid $20 for some wheels. She just wants to ride 5 minutes to McGill. Anything simple will do but she is picky about upright posture. You’re right, below 100 will probably be tough. I just thought to check the forums feeling for the used bike pulse.
Garage sales are your best bet at that point.
if you want upright posture, try the bixi.
I was actually checking craigslist today and saw a bunch of bikes under $100, some decent looking. Keep looking. Also check kijijii, there’s less mile-end hipsters on there, so less expensive…
yeah, bixi is a fine idea.
