I started riding a bike earlier this month and I have found a bridgestone 700 that I here so many great things about. I was planning on buying a brand new bike off of BD in september but would buying the 700 be better then buying a brand new bike or is buying an older bike like that just cool and nothing else. I do plan on doing some modding but I don't have to.

I guess what I am asking is an older bike like a bridgestone 700 better then a new bike?

Thank You
