Which is the best option for a beginner trying to get exercise and lose weight? I have a Specialized Roll I’ve been riding around my neighborhood, but I want to get a little more serious and go on longer rides on greenway paths and feel like I need more than 7 gears.
Both are localish to me with the Roubaix being quite a bit closer. Asking $250 for the Trek and $500 for the Roubaix. Both are 56cm and I’m 5’11.
The Roubaix looks like it may have gone down lightly on the derailleur side, but overall looks in good shape (from pictures, I haven’t seen it in person). Both bikes have been in garages for at least a couple of years so I’m assuming another $50-$100 to get maintenance and adjustments done.
Any thoughts or recommendations on non-insulting lower offers?
