What do you bicycle connoisseurs reckon on the Tern B7?
I'm looking for something under under 1.5k with a dependable frame for commuting.

QUOTE(dilgoh @ Dec 9 2015, 09:38 AM) I'm intending to tour next year. Depends on how much stuff you want to carry. The front rack is lower to the ground so you can only have smaller panniers. Once loaded up, the front will have a heavier feel obviously. If you have a touring rack at the back, I'd rather use that. If not and the smaller pannier suits, it's ok too.I'm thinking of having a front load instead of a back load. Pros and cons? Am using a Dahon Speed D8/P8. Am in the midst of getting all the stuff that I'll need. Intending to tour from March 2016. |

QUOTE(o.d @ Dec 9 2015, 02:30 PM) hello, question about general bike, non folding. If the bike is only single speed, then you are unlikely to have a rear derailleur mount. Easiest would be to get a hub gear, maybe a three speed and they will give you a wider range. I have a modern single speed and I can get to most places, so you'll need to know where you ride and accept its limitations.I wanna ask, if classic bike like this, usually only single gear. is it possible to make it to have gears? for climbing general housing area hilly places: [attachmentid=5479721] I always like the classic look but usually they only have single speed. |

I would definitely buy a used higher end model rather than a new entry model. You get better/nicer parts. It is only a bicycle, so don't worry if it is a few years old. Make sure the frame is not damage, hinges ok, and everything else is adjustable.You buy a entry model, then upgrade, you will definitely over-spend and definitely lose money. |

QUOTE(RidingTheBus1997 @ Dec 9 2015, 06:30 PM) What do you bicycle connoisseurs reckon on the Tern B7? Looking at the specs, this bike is likely to be low geared. The 7 speed may be more difficult to upgrade if it is a freewheel and not cassette. Best to go for a test ride and see if it can handle the speed you are likely to travel at.I'm looking for something under under 1.5k with a dependable frame for commuting. |
