I once bought a bike at the fulton mall ToysRUs that cost me about $90. It served me well but fell apart after a couple of years – that was really my fault because I did nothing to maintain it (at some point the pedal crank came loose and I should have tightened it). I went to a local bike shop to get a replacement and I think it was like $25. Incredible that one little piece cost nearly a third the price of my entire bike.
Bespoke = custom = $$$.
Bicycle Station is still the best bet especially for a cheap used bike. You tell the owner Mike what you want to spend and he’ll put something together for you. They used to be on Vanderbilt but now I think they’re on park and adelphi under the BQE.
The bike shop on atlantic is fine, brought my bike there and also had them do some tuneups. Going to try bespoke this week as the bike needs some work and bespoke is closer.
I stopped in earlier this week. Beautiful bikes, nice guys working there, but laughably priced. Least expensive bike was $500, which I can’t imagine most people spending for something to ride around the neighborhood and do errands.
I’m happy to see some competition for Bicycle Station…those folks are super nice, but I always got the impression they were burnt out.
No shop will sell you something for $100. But you can find used bikes for that amount.
all “high end, no discount” um okay. a bike is a bike is a bike i aint gonna pay 3000 dollars for a stupid piece of metal with 2 wheels.
*rob*
For $100, you are better off ordering from Walmart. The bike shops are all high-end, no discounts.
