    hi
    i'm looking to start cycling again, i used to commute a mountain bike with a road bike chainset from dundrum to o'connell street every day but that was 15 years ago, buying my first motorbike ended this

    is this a good deal?

    thanks

    That's quite a serious bike with some good components on it - at a good price. If I had the cash, I'd be looking at that too!

    It looks like quite a big bike. Are you tall?

    I dont like this bike but it gives you an idea of pricing best off go up and have a look in a few places. There should be great deals on bikes now cause new models are either in or on way

    Well your talking nearly a 4 year old bike. Parts get upgraded rebadged etc since then . Its a nice bike but if it was me and I was paying 800 ish for a bike. Id be looking for something newer. I reckon 600 or less be a good bargain then.


    Put it this way go into a shop and trade in said bike see how much he d offer you:) ya d need to bring the assos cream with ya

    Do your homework little trip to cyclesuperstores or cycleways see what prices are like for hardtails
