I admit to harboring a stereotype that this young woman just wants a comfortable, reliable bike to ride, and does not care to get into a project refurbing an obscure antique. Perhaps I'm wrong.
I realize that some used bikes are a good deal, and need little or no TLC to be a good rider. But it takes some skill to identify these. And even if you only find high quality used bikes on your local CL, it's easy to feel pressured to buy one that isn't ideal. At a bigger shop, at least a customer could try several bikes side by side. Plus, there's a warranty, maybe a deal on accessories, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
