Hi all, looking to buy a bicycle after owning a nightmare bicycle from Walmart for a month. Would like to do basic riding on trails, around the neighborhood and also for cardio.
Was wondering if this was a good option? He's agreed to go down to 200 bucks. He says the tires need air but other than that it's good to go.
Any insights appreciated đŸ™‚

Just sold my alpha for £60… Not a chance someone paid $1000 for this recently wtffff
$200 is okay deal. Better then walmart bike
Anytime you can buy a quality bike for 200$ or less is pretty good especially if it’s for fitness. That’s the price of going out for a dinner and a movie
Can you post the other photo, and closer example of this picture? It’s hard to make out the details of this bike from this picture. And “Alpha series 100” isn’t the bike’s model, that’s just the specific formula of aluminum it was made of. So that doesn’t really give any info about the parts on this bike.
The claim that it was originally bought for $1600 seems dubious, so don’t get too excited thinking you are getting a $1600 bike for a bargain.
I literally bought a used one three days ago, same color same everything. It’s called Trek One Series 1.1. I bought it in a very excellent condition for 300$. I highly highly recommend it for you, especially if you’ve never owned a road bike before(that’s me lol). It’s perfect as an entry level. The shifter and derailleur is Shimano Claris, which is great for beginners. Just make sure it’s in good condition and go for it!
