New Bike Advice
I am about to buy a bike again after a number of years. I would plan to
use it to get a little exersise and would be cycling on roads and off road cycle paths etc. so nothing too demanding max 10-15 miles a week. I have looked in my local bike shop and seen a Raleigh Mountain bike (Max Aero). This is a basic Mountain bike with ridged forks and a Chromeoly ?? frame. Parts all look reasonable quality (Shimano gears, EZ rapid fire shifters, Pro Max Brakes) and although it is obviously an old model it apparently had a UK RRP of 190 pounds. It is on offer for 90 pounds in a sale. Is this a good buy for a novice like me to start with? I've tried it for size etc. and it feels ok. In all honesty I can't afford to spend a great deal and all of the other bikes in this price range were makes I had never heard of. Any advice greatly appreciated.
