I need a new bike – rode my previous used one for four months, and now gears are shot, rear wheel is shot, brakes are weird, cassette needs replacing – for 2-3 x of original price to me.
So I am looking at putting that money (3000 dkk/ around 500 dollars) into another used bike. hoping for something more lasting and simple. preferably fenders are within budget, bonus for a rack also. maybe even going single speed. so tired of gears messing up
i’m used to hybrids, and want to try something a little more aggressive.
in general, something like that nishiki or the ghost is probably the correct, if boring option.
i have a shortlist:
- sco world champion. modern reissue of 80s glory. 1×7, cheap components. only asking 800dkk, which leaves lots of room for fenders
- old peugeot virenque. classic steel, I like the true vintage style, 1700dkk asking
- modern but cheap when new full carbon northrace vampiro – 2500dkk asking
- beat up no name old road bike, will def need new wheels at least, 300dkk asking (that’s less than $50!)
- classic kildemoes racer, hardly used, 1000 dkk asking
- nishiki hybrid 1×8, 1750 dkk asking
- ghost road rage for 1900 asking
- wilier triestina for 2750 asking
