>>1261096I'm not adverse to buying used! I never said that. I'll probably opt for buying second hand due to my restricted budget. But I just want a template to follow. I wish there was a website that allowed you to find the bike best suited to your preferences by selecting criteria, or something. For me - as someone who isn't knowledgeable about the scope of bikes to choose from, it is hard to know where to begin or if it's possible to make an intelligent choice because there's just so many, you'll never make sense of it.
My previous bike was the Carerra Subway 2. Bought it twice for €450 around 2010 and it was stolen on both occasions. Thick wheels, you could jump off and on fairly quick, black colour suits my tastes. But I think I can do better than aim for this again. Especially seeing that this was just arbitrarily chosen from a limited selection in a local outdoors store.
