Hi all,

Still browsing for a decent entry leveller and came across this:

Was thinking a £200 bid? Would be grateful for opinions?

Thanks Chris

    It's on about the money now I'd think, so no.

    What size is it, and never heard of sharp shooters?

    Its an 18" Frame / 24 Speed - Its only a couple of Miles away so could try it for Size. Do you think he meant Trigger Shifters? I thought they were Standard on the Vulcan? So not worth £200 even with the extras, how about £150? Or should I stick with my original choice "Rockrider 5.2" from Decathlon. The Vulcan did get very good reviews on here to be fair...

    Stick with new IMO.

    Decent bike, depends on the condition etc. No idea what he means, but extras are worthless - no name brand tyres and a computer (why bother) don't increase the value of the bike. If he'd added a decent fork, that would have.

    I have looked at the Kona Lanai, but still feel the Rockrider 5.2 is the better bike plus I have a Decathlon close to me for the convenience. I am just keeping an eye out for 2nd Handers in the meantime. Thanks for the recommendation though.
