I guess he lays his bike down on the ground when he stops riding, like the rest of the cool kids. ;)

I doubt the Giant kickstand would fit a Trek, and vice-versa. I suggested that on the...

I'd buy the Bontrager one without hesitation. It has a lifetime guarantee on it and you can get a replacement if it breaks. I will say that the Giant one seems well-engineered. The spring seems...

My Roam has the Giant accessory kickstand that goes with the bike. You can see the two silver bolts that attach the kickstand. They go into two threaded holes in the frame.

I have kickstands on all of my bikes. I understand that it's often "not cool" to have a kickstand. I never have quite figured out how it's cooler to, instead, have to find a tree to lay your bike...

I suppose I'd probably buy the helmet that fits best at Walmart or Target and use your store credit to get some other stuff. Do you have to use the store credit when you buy the bike? If not, I'd...

That sounds like a great deal to me ($609 plus $50 store credit). Regarding a helmet, anything that fits and meets CPSC testing should offer good head protection. There is lots of information on...

Bike shops almost always offer free tune-ups and/or free adjustments with the purchase of a new bike. There are two bike shops in my town, and one offers free tune-ups for a year (adjustments, wheel...

I don't know what the margin is on a new bike. If Trek says the suggested price is $700, what are they getting for that bike from the shop? I don't know. I'd guess the shop's margin is somewhere in...

Trek FX bikes are generally good sellers, so any shop willing to deal with you makes it a good deal. I wouldn't personally ask them to print the price so you can take it down the street -- if the...

I think so. The FX 3 as a carbon fork, and you'll see a benefit from that every time you ride. It'll feel lively and should be more comfortable than an aluminum fork. The FX 3 also has the IsoZone...

Regarding disc brakes, your budget wouldn't buy a new model with discs, so I was saying that you're not making that compromise by buying used (used definitely will not have discs). Nearly all of my...

Welcome! In your situation, an non-disc FX 3 will be about the same as an older 7.3 FX series bike, so I'd probably try to find a nice used 7.x bike. Some of them came with carbon forks (like the...
