Hi, it's me again,
Ok, so I posted about which bike to get and I wanted to opt for a folding bike. I am still in the researching phases. But I really do not want a twitchy bicycle and it seems more of a hassle with folding bikes in the long-run for the folding mechanism i feel like for maintenance in the future it will just add more money... I have made room for a full-sized bicycle BUT I would have to carry it up 2 flights of stairs, yes 2 flights of stairs (that includes 12 steps on each floor no elevators/lifts). So I want your opinions of lightweight full sized bicycles.
As mentioned before I am female height 160cm so about 5'3" and my inseam is 27. I need something lightweight very LIGHTWEIGHT BUT VERY DURABLE lol.
As mentioned in previous post, sorry to be annoying and posting it again but I am a newbie lol and I appreciate your opinions, this is what I am looking for:
Further information: My budget is max around £2000 for a bicycle and maybe some important accessories that go along with it so lets just say around £1500 for the bicycle and £500 for the accessories.- I will most likely utilise my bicycle, in the beginning, for learning to ride the bicycle and then hopefully progress onto long distances/leisure riding/ touring maybe (so I need to be able to attach storage) and not sure if it will be on road or off road or rough terrain etc, but I preferably want to buy a bike that is suitable for all terrains if that is possible?
- I may even use the bicycle for commuting to places, buying groceries etc (I do not drive a car and most likely don't want to learn to either, don't want to add pollution haha)
- A bike that will last me at least 10 years
- A bike that has low maintenance costs and easy to maintain and not many specialised parts (so that IF i am in a different place it will not be difficult to find such parts)
Thank you so much for your input, I appreciate you all
