I absolutely agree, and I would love to buy a new bike, but it's tough to pay 250-400€ for something, when you don't have a job... or well can't have job.

My parents bought me this bike when I was around 10-11, I think. Now I'm 15, so there's the problem . I guess puberty and those darned growth hormones are to blame!

But anyway, if we're allowed to drift from the original topic, how much do you think the bike would really be worth?

I mean, small Merida Kalahari 510, brakes are squealing slightly (can probably be fixed), derailleur works too, but is poorly adjusted, could really use a proper setup. 120€ would be generous, no?

OK, this just a thought. Buying a new post still more reasonable.
