Back at this again trying to find out a decent bike to buy.
16, Live in NYC, looking for a bike that will serve a 1 1/2 mile ride to school daily (and same amount back home) for more than 2 years and it has to be less than 760 dollars.
Don't know a lot about bikes, but have spent a lot of time looking for decent ones to chose from. As of now I have a few picks:
-A State Bicycle CO Black Label 6061 Black Label Galaxy Edition Bicycle : Fixie Bikes | State Bicycle Co.
-A 6ku TRACK bike (still really cheap, but not one of the fixies that they sell)
-Aventon Mataro Aventon Mataro Fixed Gear Track Bike http://6kubikes.com/products/6ku-track-bike
Don't know how well State Bike CO is, 6ku seems like it might be a bad decision, and for the Aventon Mataro, I heard some mixed things on it: good frame, ****ty fork. Wanted to know your guys' opinions on this. Also, I am open to considering buying a Mataro frame Aventon Mataro Frame w/ Lite Carbon Fork that comes with a carbon fork and possibly building a bike with that frame (if its a good idea, would still be looking to spend less than 400 on decent parts).
Please help me out with any suggestions on these bikes, or any other ones that you think might be a good fit for me. Also, no Mercier Kilo TT comments. Once again, don't know much about bikes, but if I were to get that bike it would be the pro (obv better?!?!), and there is no size 55 (I'm 5'7 and growing, don't know if 55 is a good size. If it is, lmk).
Thank's a lot, please help me out in any way you can. Been thinking about a bike for a while now and actually CHOOSING one has torn me up for the past 4 months.
Thank you
