(Not that I disagree with the general idea that cheap bikes are ridden by cheap people.) Oi! I resemble that remark. I hold to the belief that an inexpensive bike, properly serviced and maintained can give away very little to something costing hundreds more, in terms of ridability and longevity. Setting up a new cycle computer this morning ($17 Aldi special) I noticed that the odometer on the old computer on my $80 GVBR blue bike is showing 6321 ks. OK, I've added a $50 seat, and $80 tyres and a $50 set of levers, but it's still going strong, and will take me through the Great Vic ride again this year. I might take the orange ex-Aust-Post panniers off first.... BTW Since I don't ride at night much, I didn't bother with the $30 superbright rechargable LED headlight (with helmet and handlebar fittings) on offer at Aldi. Moike |
