Got someone selling Jamis Ranger hardtail for $200, take a look!

Is it worth it? If it is, I'll get it! My girl wants one!

Price should be about there if there's nothing wrong with the bike. As for the torn handlebar grip, that can be replaced cheaply I suppose.. Check if the bike size can fit your gf.

Ok! Man, thanks for your advice! The bicycle seems to be a medium, which should fit my girl, since she is as tall as me. I can only hope that the seller is ok with it now.

Excited.

Haha, most welcome man, hope you got a good buy! Don't forget to check the bike and its parts for any other signs of damage.

Thanks dude! I reserved it from him. Will be inspecting the bike on Sunday.. Theo, I am still a newbie on these kinda stuff. What specifics should I look out for in the inspection? Thanks!

It is a aluminum frame so no rust but still check the butted frame for any cracks etc. see whether the shifter work smoothly. check rim for damage etc.

see the chain rusty or not. Pedal firm or not on the crankarm.

Headset, handlebar secure.

brake working.

Quick Release working fine.

Ermm guys, ask ya something...

My girl was asking me which one is more worth the money. Cuz the 1.5 year old Jamis Ranger costs $200, and she saw that C2C is selling a brand new Polygon (not sure about the model, but should be the cheapest model there) for $290.

Which one is better, considering also the after-sales service, upgrade-capacity and etc? She told me the available reviews on Jamis Ranger are not very favorable..

Thanks a lot!

Woots, sorry for late reply, hehe, can follow what Alpha Hippo said Anyway, I think the Jamis would be better than the Polygon

It's not about brand, it's about fit and geomety.

True also, Kuniyo's gf will have to decide which one is more suited to her

think they will sell u a polygon with a slight top-up.

Are u intending to lock your bike at a public place and go off for a long time? If yes, dun buy so expensive bike. Alot of thief.

Got ppl going around stealing bike and selling your beloved bikes to bangalas at 10 to 20 bucks.
