VENTURE X-Lite 12 speed, worth buying?
Hi folks
Does anyone knows that model? There seems to be no informations about it on the Internet, I asked here if it's 27" or 700c tires, that should be important to know
I saw it on kijiji for a cheap price, wanted to know if you know something about it/is it worth buying for 25$ (considering 25$ isn't peanuts for me at the moment hahaha)
He is apparently also reconditionned (cleaned, greased, repaired, etc)
Here is a picture I got of it
I'm wondering if it's worth buying over my Niji Caravelle by mixing the best parts together

Doesn't look like anything special, and all those steel components (handlebars, rims, seatpost, etc) suggest a pretty low-end bike. Having said that, $25 for a bike that's ready to ride is a very good deal if you need one.

Nothing on the Internet + cheap steel parts = discount store/ dept store bike. It will have 27 inch wheels. Still well worth $25, should sell quick.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
