im thinking of getting a dawes lightning sport for $250 at some shop near my home. it looks really good and im sure the frame is the right size for me but i don't know much about bikes..
so any tips on what i should look for in the bike and is 250 a good price?
it looks exactly like this one...
seller says used bike is in good condition but i'm sure i would have the local bike shop tune it up
trying to get more info from seller. initial pic is small.
with(continued)? on Bikes Direct it comes with a flip flop hub and a freewheel, but no fixed gear. I was wondering, how much would it cost me to get a fixed gear and attach it. and should i mess with it myself or just take it to the shop. oh, and i saw a guy with a dawes, and he had sanded off...
Yea, thats quite an old bike, have a very good look at it before you buy! If the paint is in bad condition then the bike has probably seen a lot of use.
