Skinner Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If your looking for a cheap mnt bike best bet is to hitup walmart. Any decent used mnt bike would run a couple hundered if you find one for $50 will have to put at least that much backinto it to make it rideable.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Im gonna check craigslist, im just looking for something to ride around campus, not anything to take off road. But being 6'5 doesnt allow me to ride a 20" bike anymore comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
302Powered Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If I remember correctly, Walmart has 26 inch mountain bikes for $53.88. I was looking to buy one there myself. -Mike *EDIT* I just looked at their site and found this... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=1977659 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Chiming in on Walmarts $50 bikes.... they suck. If you have any sort of standard in riding, don't doo eet. I am, however, looking at their schwinn and mongoos bikes. Suspension and disk brakes for $200? Who can tell me why I shouldn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I bought one of the mongoose bikes with suspension and disc brakes from Target, I think it was right around $200-$250. They are fine for street use, but don't plan on actually taking it mountain biking. Go to a used bike shop and buy a NICE specialized, diamondback or schwinn. About the same price and it will actually hold up to a few tree roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, however, looking at their schwinn and mongoos bikes. Suspension and disk brakes for $200? Who can tell me why I shouldn't? Have you ever seen or meet the bike assemblers at Walmart ? For a much better quality and reasonable priced bike I would suggest like a KHS Alite 300 which has suspension and disc brakes and run in the 300 range.

Science Abuse Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Have you ever seen or meet the bike assemblers at Walmart ? They don't come out during the day, so no. I tend to assemble new bikes on my own..... but I don't buy many new bikes. Where is the used bike shop that you speak of, cuz I sure cant find one.

Turbodude Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wheel and Spoke, but its in zanesville. That was the price range though for a new bike, if you could find it used I would guess it would be less than 200. Alot of just bike retailers carry used models as well, however the only bike stores in columbus that I know of are the Trek dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
