No!

I bought my son a Black KONA bike (second hand) for £45 from a market. Then he broke the chain :( So now having a new chain and other bits fitted)

The amount of bikes he goes through, there is no way he's getting an expensive one. His bike after being fixed has now doubled the price I paid for it :(

Similar to this


But then again, if I was into bikes, then I'd get a nice new one but wouldnt pay too much for it, they are so easy to steal.

Heavier isn't a problem, because he won't be carrying it around :)

Expensive? Cool, not bad for £45 then :) (Almost £90 now)

You got a good deal for that bike man, Alhumdolillah but ride quality and weight will make Careera a better buy.

You ride the 2 bikes a little and you will notice the difference.

I've actually seen a shop in London where bicycles such as the above are being sold for these astronomical prices.

Not my thing to be honest and anyone who pays that amount of money for a bicycle I consider crazy.

For that amount of money you can get a nice BMW coupe, Audi A5/A6 etc

Brick Lane. But not from the guys who sell them on the footpath. I got it from the stall.

The guys on the footpath can sell you a £4000 bike for £60, so you can work out where they got theirs from.
