Mercier Bikes opinion newbie
I am runner who does bike once in awhile and I need an entry level road
bike. I seem to find the best deal on a Mercier bike from bikesdirect. I can put the thing together I have the tools and reasonable skills but how does this bike size up. I know the fit it need at 6"2 I got the 60cm frame and the only experience I have in the past is with a Schwinn Traveler I bought 12 years ago and road it for a few years and liked it alot. My son took it and destroyed by poor handling but it was a decent bike I did not need the best. I compared the Mercier with a Schwinn Circuit and Schwinn fastback and this bike seemed a better deal. I all take any opinions and advice. -- -- Mark Cleary plays Hollenbeck Jazz Guitars Handmade http://hollenbeckguitar.com/ |

At a given component level, bikesdirect.com bikes are comparable in
quality to those from most major makers. The only caveat buying onling is sizing but if you are familiar with the size you need you'll save a lot.

Buying a bike (or even a frame) online when you don't know the geometry
of what your getting is risky. Like buying shoes or a suit, it's always nice to be able to try it on before making sa commitment. Not likely, considering your height, but do you now anyone who has a similar bike? - - Compliments of: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" If you want to E-mail me use: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net My website: http://geocities.com/czcorner |
