>>1320407Okay, this is what I'm torn between:
https://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/d/lafayette-diamondback-apex-clean-and/6865089168.html https://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/d/louisville-giant-escape-1-on-road-sport/6851693360.htmlhttps://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/d/lafayette-clean-and-tuned-hybrid/6868795670.html My last bike was aluminum. Didn't feel super heavy at times, but it was a hybrid style. Sturdy as fuck I had a few nasty wipeouts and not a single bend (Raleigh C-30. Was a great bike, shame it is all my fault that it is gone). Google clocks it at about 30 lbs. So my initial scare away from that diamond back is that it might be a bit heavier and suck if I ever wanna put some mileage on it that isn't work related. Any change you can expand on the parts though? Some Google searching indicated that a lot of people really like this dianondback (probably from 1985) it looks like a comfortable rider though, and the paint is in good condition (super important to me)
The Giant is pretty attractive to me as it stands, but the price is pretty high. Seems like that includes the cost of maintenance though, which I'm sure I'd have to pay someone to do on the other two maybe just to make sure everything is up to snuff. But it seems like it has a comfortable hybrid style and was well maintained. Not sure how the comfort between it and the diamondback rates, or even the weight (can't find a standard weight) but looks like a direct upgrade from my old Raleigh otherwise. So biggest factor in it is just the price and how much I'd benefit from it
I like the third one more for the price and the color, but the brakes look pretty meh compared to the previous two. Found that style to be a big pain in the ass to work on and was interested in branching out past it. That being said, color is really nice on it and it looks comfortable..
Doubt any are wrong, but yeah I guess if the weight won't kill me and the first outclasses the other two I don't mind snagging it
