Hi ....
I just purchased a winston dover on ebay. I having a hard time finding
information on these bikes as well as being able to speak with anyone.
Are winston good bikes....... or could you find the same thing at Sam's?
It has a Sora 24 shifter .... is this ok. I'm new into biking and am
getting a bit discouraged I may have bought the wrong bike.




Sora is a good entry-level componenet group. It brakes good and shifts
good. Really it depends on what your interests are for biking. If you
are just going to be riding on normal rides then I'm sure a Sora group
will do fine. Racing or more competitive riding would require a better
group. The Dover looks to have a good aluminum frame and chro-moly fork.
As you get better you may want to improve the bike some more.

Check out the website below. It has some great pointers about
purchasing a bike.
