dont buy second hand bikes. especially those that look like those in the picture. those are thoroughly worn and used. the repairs $$ will be amounting sama if you buy brand new.
you see i one time bought a bike second hand, if same spec new rm2k dift. so i got a bargain la. until: - have to replace spoke then service hub - rantai putus dalam trail. putus 3, my magic link ada satu je. then have to push out - tyre botak already have to replace tyre and tube - headset dah ovalised bunyi bunyi have to change - bearings kena service - handle bar too short tak sesuai need to change buy new - fork kena hantar service - the saddle tak best kena tukar so all in all the hassle leceh man. id rather go buy and puas ride rather than have to waste my time repair and in and out in and out KSH nak repair all the stuff i didnt notice. buy new. |
