    Hi guys,

    I am about to get my first bike to help with recovery from a broken tibia.
    The intention is to keep it up as a hobby afterwards for fitness, no more soccer for me:(
    I have settled on a road bike but my budget is too small to get a good new one, €200 or maybe €250 in a few weeks is all I can afford.
    I am keeping an eye out for good used bikes but what do you reckon about this Viking ? A decent starter bike or a waste of time? Better off getting buying a better equipped used bike?

    Save longer and buy second hand, alternatively, if you can use B2W then you could save longer and buy first hand.

    Try to gather about €400-€500 if you plan to really take it up, it's worth it in the long run.
