Check more than the price

With second-hand bikes, visitors usually look at price first. But frame quality, brakes, lights, and overall condition decide whether the bike is really a good buy.

Always take a test ride and check whether the saddle and handlebars can be adjusted properly. Ask for the frame number, proof of purchase, and a receipt that clearly describes the bike.

Service often beats the lowest price

A slightly more expensive bike with aftercare, quick adjustment, and a reliable repair option is often more valuable in practice than the cheapest choice.

Include expected repairs in your budget. A cheap bike with worn tires, play in the wheels, or weak brakes can become more expensive after the first workshop bill.
