Is this a good bike for my brother?
Hey guys, I'm not sure whether this is the place to ask this, but I guess I can try! I'm thinking about buying a slightly used bike like in the link below for my little brother's bday. It's going for $100; is it a good deal? I myself have an ancient bike and don't know the ins and outs of this stuff...

For that price it should be fine. Remember a first bike is only to let you know what you next bike should be. People will try to tell you to spend more or get something they like or have but it is always best to get what you can afford and ride it than to wait and not ride anything and maybe never get a bike at all. I got an old Haro MTB for 100 bucks that served me well for a year before I gave it to my daughter in law. As far as I know it is doing just fine in Colorado today.
