My first real "good" bike.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking to buy my first "good" bike. I'm doing mostly pavement ( city ) , bikeway and now trails if I buy a better hybrid. I have always rode cheap 200$ bikes. My current one is an old 25 year old velo sport niagara hybrid which weight about 33 lbs. I was looking over the internet for a deal and come acrost this guy who's selling a giant roam 0 2014. I looked for reviews and I had found that it's a good bike for the price and giant is a solid company.

He would let it go for 800$ and the bike is like new he said. Plus I really like the matt black all around. What you guys think ??

Here's the link : Giant Roam 0 2014 Hybrid | de route | Ville de Montréal | Kijiji


Thank's

It depends - on how much YOU like the bike and feel it fits you, both physically and how you want to ride. Of course, you already know this, but sometimes people get attracted to a "deal" and forget that it's about the connection between bike and rider. I think you know what I mean.
