Fit homme

Hello,
i am interested in buying this bike: http://www.nakamura.fr/F-1001-velo/P-10 ... -fit-homme

Do you have any ideas if its worth buying or do you have any personal experience with this bike?

I'll admit I've never heard of them. I am assuming from the website that they are Intersport's home brand of bike (like Decathlon's Rockrider range).
I'm also assuming that you are based in France? (in which case I doubt there are many that will have experience of them).

What do you want the bike to do?
If you want something that looks like a mountain bike but just want it to ride to the shop and back, it will do the job.
If you want something to take down the local trails, I would avoid it.

Yes currently i am in France.
I don't want to do an extreme use.
I just want a stable bike which is comfortable when cycling on the road (long and short distnaces) and sometimes on a road with small stones (not in a mountain but just road without asphalt).

Can't read the specs but looks nasty - rubbish fork, quill stem and very heavy. BSO.

What is your budget and what shops are around you?
The bike that you were looking at was very cheap - at that price the spec is going to be very poor and the bike will be very heavy.
You may end up buying something that you don't enjoy riding - it will be a waste of money if you don't enjoy the ride. It will endup in a shed rusting away.

My budget is up to 200 euros.
I have an intersport and a gosport (http://www.go-sport.com/) close.
I consider the option to order a bike online from sportsdirect but i read that some of the bike equipment is not set up and i have to do it on my own.

In most cases that will only mean attaching the pedals and moving the handle bars around the right way. It's not difficult and there are plenty of youtube videos to assist.

To be honest, none of these bikes are from reputable/well-known brands. The parts are cheap and heavy.
For 200 euros, you may be better off looking for a 2nd hand bike.

So even from sportdirect doesn't worth buying a bike around 200 euros?
Do you have any suggestions around that price for a hybrid bike?

supersonic

Do you have a Decathlon near?

tkalog

I could find one.
What do you suggest?
