are any of these a value?
Hi, I'm shopping bikes and I don't know a good deal from a bad deal so I'm asking for your experience. Are any of these a deal, or even worth looking at? The bike I have now has a 24' frame, to tall, but I'm used to it. When I stop I just lean to the left and stand on one foot. As I read that, I guess it sounds unsafe. Maybe I should just look at a 22" frame. Are there 23" frames? Well here goes;
