They way you bought a bike years ago, is not the same as today. You can go to Walmart and get one for $89. but you get what you pay for. In my opinion if you spend about $300 or $400 for a bike you are getting something good these days. The difference between a cheap bike and a good bike and a realy good bike is fit and finish. They are all made in China these days. Labour cost so much these days that you are better off getting a $400 bike and having it for 10 or 15 years, and then getting a new one. The cheap one sqeek and rattle as you ride them and they bend and go out of alainment. I have had my bike for 10 years and have put on about 26,000 kms on it.

I would suspect that most of the better bike shops will let you at least try it out in the parking lot etc. Mine did when I was buying my new one last year.Carrie Moon said:

I'm sure you're right.
My 84 year old Mum doesn't use it anymore and has given it to my daughter. What caught my attention is that it's as light as a feather and has racing tires on it.
Just curious about it more than anything else...

RAY YOU OWE ME A PUBLIC APOLOGY AND YOU NEED TO RE-POST THE TWIN TOWERS CARTOON WHERE YOU WISHED ME AND MY FAMILY DEAD.RayFinkel said:
I am saddened by this. I had always enjoyed his sober posts. But Friday when he wished me and my family dead I posted I felt he was drunk and awaited hoi response.ahahooper said:
Last night I PMed him and demanded an apology and no response.
This morning I contacted the mods and insisted all I wanted was a public apology and that was satisfactory. I was told they too were awaiting the same. I asked he be given the opportunity to do so.
he refused and now is banned and as for me I hope it is lifetime

You have obviously have done the right thing and in a very diplomatic manner.
His problem with alcohol is well know. Four months ago he was supposed to be getting help. Obviously not.
Banned for ever. I hope not. Temporarily till he gets help would be fitting in my opinion.
That said I in no way endorse his comments nor the use of a certain racist word last night by another poster...
I would rather he still be here and posting.Geoff said:Seems that this thread has gone "full cyle"
I enjoyed his posts and am saddened by this. I had contacted the mods and ask that is he publicly apologized to let him stay. It was his decision to be banned.
