Post here if you want help buying a bicycle.
Post your local used market, craigslist etc, and height, and price range, if you want recommendations.
Post actual options you have available for new bikes if you want opinions
General points for new bikes:
>avoid suspension on hybrids
>look for atleast 8 or 9 speed, not 7 speed. New 7 speed parts are excessively cheap and shitty. Claris/Sora/Acera/Alivio are all good. Tourney is shit.
>Look for a carbon or chromoly steel fork, not Hiten steel or aluminium
>look for hydraulic disc brakes or rim brakes. Not mech discs.
>Don't buy a bike that doesn't fit you
>Don't buy a bike that you don't just really like for arbitrary reasons
The market is abysmal right now because of covid.
