Shimano Mountain Bike Cables
With quality and cost in mind, which of these three bikes should I keep?
I have too many bikes and need to sell 2 of them. Please help! Extra details will be so very helpful. All components are stock shimano acera and v-brakes.
I’m just trying to keep the best value bike. It will be my wife’s bike but it may be used by others to do some light mountain biking.
I have:
*Trek 4300 Alpha (2001-2002): Lighter Aluminum frame:
It needs:
-new fork (can’t do it myself)
-chain
-brake pads
-cables
-rear tube
*Mongoose Solution (2001): Heavy Aluminum frame
-Doesn’t need anything
-Has a Rockshox Judy TT fork and a cheap rear suspension
*Trek 82 Singletrack (no clue what year): Cro-Moly frame
-Doesn’t need anything
-Front RTS (stock) suspension
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Out of those possible sellers, I suggest you of load the Mongoose, and the Trek 4300 Alpha. You may not be able to get to much money off the Trek, because of the missing parts, but the other Trek 82 is a good bike. Now, the mongoose is good too, but the Trek 82 singletrack is better.
