Need help to buy a Bicycle.

[Count Dracula]

Raleigh's start from 11k??!!!!.Man, I am no professional cyclist or something.Will just ride it regularly near my area.That is TOO much for a cycle.And each kid near my area has Raleigh >_>.Rich kids.Or maybe they have those cheap models with less features and they bought Raleigh just for its brand name.Maybe.Still confused lol.Thinking of increasing budget upto 7-8 k.

Dude IMO no friggin cycle is worth more than 3-4k.

@Dracula:I quoted the price at that Bombay wala Mall

I am sure those Raleigh's commonly used wont go higher than 4K may be
But no friggin' dealer are ready to deliver it here.although they acknowledge the brand is NOT dead in India

are u residing in Bombay?here is one bike I found for Rs2600 Raleigh


well,seems they got home delivery also?

OK?

get this

[Count Dracula]

Yes Praka, I reside in Bombay, and Hypercity is like 5 km distance from here.Currently checking out the site you mentioned.I heard somewhere Hypercity import's those cycles from South Africa.The lowest price which I saw (After converting the currency) was approximately 9k.That's quite a hole in the pocket for me.

[praka123]

No,it is wrong,lowest is available for 2.5 k onwards,check the site top area,it list 3 pages!

Displaying: 1 to 10 of 29 Page: 1 2 3 See all

Hmm,thanks.I'm going to buy my bike on Tuesday.Will have to decide everything before Tuesday.Was supposed to buy today,but was very confused.Brakes,Gears and all that.Which type of breaks are the best?, I mean like in order , i.e Disc>V>Caliper for instance.

EDIT: Now some forums say that getting a Raleigh may not be the best idea,because of after sales service issues.
