21-speed Scorpio Hybrid Road Bike
I found this used bike for sale on Craigslist.com:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/bik/3951954573.html I have never head of a brand called Scorpio. Who manufactures this bike? Does the manufacturer have a web site? Are spare parts readily available in the USA? I realize that I cannot expect a high-quality bike for $75.00 but I would like to make sure that, should there be a need to get repairs done, I can find the spare parts in the U.S. market. -- tb |

From the photo it appears to be a low end road bike. It is a seven speed rear sprocket which is not impossible to find parts for but is a bit rare these days. So, yes, you will be able to find parts for it, but these parts are likely to be a bit rare. It might be pointed out that bike makers make only the frame and forks. All the other bits - wheels, sprockets, cranks, shifters, etc. are normally sourced from outside builders such as Shimano. -- Cheers, John B. |
