is it still being made

askin a school kid to buy a petrol driven vehicle - bad bad ida!!!

[Pathik]

I used to drive a 1.5k Hero Trailblazer when I was in school.
Cmon man, 5k is too much for a cycle.
You can get a 3rd 4th hand Kinetic in that much.

[Faun]

get a good bike with gears and delta frame with spring suspensions.

I plan to buy a bike too as am not much into motorcycle.

[praka123]

get a raleigh england(is it manufactured still?) bicycle,it is the most comfortable.else buy a hercules one for less than 2K.for remaining money,go enjoy!

[mehulved]

One of the firefox bikes? - http://www.firefoxbikes.com/axxis24.htm
And are the bicycles still as cheap as they were? I heard their prices are on the rise now.

[ajayritik]

Dude I would suggest you not to invest so much money for a bicycle. 2-3k is OK I think.

[slugger]

buy this cycle

nice elgant look

but i gues for 5K one can only buy a couple of its spokes

BTW if it is of any help......I LOVED my Hero Ranger cycle

[Faun]

Hercules ftw

[QwertyManiac]

I had a Top Gear EZY, served me well enough, it were 6x3.

Dark Star has one of those modern ones, I forgot what his model is, hopefully he should look by here.

[Count Dracula]

Guys,be serious.I'll try not to spend too lavishly and save some money.I dont even understand most of the features lol.

[Lucky_star]

Go for this one:
Hercules Ultima Shox 6 Sp

Price: 4500




or this 18 speed one, if you can extend your budget to 1000 more.:
Hercules WOW

[Faun]

Yah, I too saw this model yesterday while going to buy a cycle for my nephew. That model is awesome with powder coated body. But its costlier.

[teknoPhobia]

I ride a Hero street racer, it's nice looking and comfortable to ride, when I bought it it was around 3k. It's still working fine even after 3-4 accidents, including one with a scooter

[Count Dracula]

I checked out those links, lucky_star.But they only contain BSA and Hercules.I prefer any brand and a large choice,that site is awesome,But I'll wait for others to list their opinions too.I also heard Raleigh is an awesome brand.Many of those guys on street have Raleigh.

Is the one Pathik suggested the best for me?.Because it looks sexy.And yeah, which is a good bike store in Mumbai ( I live in Goregaon) but I am ready to travel.

[Pathik]

Dude, but it is 6.8k.
Go for the Ultime Shox if you can't exceed 5k.

[Lucky_star]

I had gone to a shop here which kept China made bicycles. The have got all those frills like multispeed gears, digital speedometer, lamps, indicators etc etc. But some of them are costly than indian ones.

I have got a 32 year old raleigh cycle . Its still working smoother.

[praka123]

[lywyre]

Some one stole my Raleigh 9 years back. It was 19 years old then (earlier, used to be my dad's). It was still good and had good riding position. Still miss it.
