What type of riding are you planning on doing with it? Also it may just be the picture, but those wheels look like different sizes. I’d do some research and see if it’s supposed to be that way.
Does it fit you?
Do you live in a hilly area? That gearing looks pretty high for a beginner contending with hills. If you are already super fit, it might be ok.
That’s a wonderful bike to get lots of KM forever, IF it fits you and you’re ok with a more aggressive frame. Good luck!
I mean this bike is better than no bike, eh? Especially if this fits you and you have issues finding one your size. It’s quite old though, so you’ll have to live with a few things that are considered to be outdated, chief among them downtube shifters, hard gears and very skinny tires.
How much is it?
Yes I rode around on a similar bike for a few years which cost me £75 until I knew more about my needs. Good bikes to learn your own maintenance on as well. Would suggest getting the hubs serviced at the very least.
