Need help to buy a Bicycle.

[gary4gar]

Don't be scared of the terrain, those ATBs are no-worry stuff. "All Terrain Bikes"

You just haven't cycled on Indian footpaths yet, its a blissful feeling

I've done lots of stupid stuff with my Ezy. Worst was pushing the tyre lock in while driving fast. I flew, yes I did, and lost 3 spokes.

I did even worse, i tried to break the wall by hitting my Bicycle right into the wall at 30KmpH.(stupid idea i know)

Just imagine the impact, poor front tyre. busted & people though a bomb had exploded

for me,the worst happened last time.when I rode a BSA cycle,its front bar(infront of ur seat,what u call that???) broken while riding see,I am just 103kg now

if this were to be a thread asking for help to buy combat aircrafts, then 3 pages full of discussion would have been sufficient for the Indian govt to take a decision....but our Count Dracula is unable to decide which cycle to buy

.....I am just 103kg now

did you lose weight?????.....last time I read you were 104

Calls for a party

[just kiddin]

 

[praka123]

[praka123]

[Count Dracula]

Custom built? I didn't quite get you.

 

[teknoPhobia]

One of my friends flattened my rear tyre just by riding my bicycle, he's 117 kilos.

 

[Count Dracula]

Lol.More suggestions for bikes?Dealers for that particular bike brand would be awesome,too!.In whole of Mumbai.

One of the firefox bikes? - *www.firefoxbikes.com/axxis24.htm

+1.

 

[Count Dracula]

Are firefox bikes good,Epecially that Axxis26?.I think they are overcharging for lesser features.Thats just what I think.That cycle doesn't even have gears

 

[phreak0ut]

When you go for a cycle, go for the ATB, MTB ones like most have suggested. Slightly less maintenance compared to those racing cycles. Decide how much and how often you'll be using your cycle. Based on that, go for the cycle. If the cycle looks sexy, but isn't comfortable while riding, don't buy it!

 

[Count Dracula]

From where can I know the prices of Raleigh bikes? (except going to Hypercity lol)

 

[praka123]

raleigh cycles - those imported ones are made in taiwan and england.
will cost around Rs22000 for good bikes

buy a Hercules cycle [the one driven by postmen].......perfect for Indian roads.....ATB MTB all crap in comparison

all the firangs here move around in those cycles

 

[Faun]

^^lol...he is a kid

 

[praka123]

before hercules,there was Raleigh brand,which is also common man's cycle.
Hercules needs more power to move on(it is also the coolie wala cycle) .most ppl knows these!

Atlas is a good brand which is currently available in India.
If Raleigh where available,it is the way.
But,now Raleigh bicycles are imported starting at 11K!.
