Topic	Who knows about bikes? I'm trying to buy a bike for my dad's bday next week.
Chewster 06/06/18 1:09:27 PM #7:	I think if you go to a proper bike shop, all the bikes there should be decent quality, but I don't really know. I just know that I got my current one at a bike shop after years of only owning Walmart bikes, and there was definitely a difference. Obviously if he tries them out he can at least get a feel for what they're like to ride and see how much they weigh. Other than that you can't really know how they'll be long-term unless you have a reliable recommendation from someone. Somebody more experienced like adjl could probably tell you more specific stuff like what kind of shifters and brakes tend to be better. <cite>Chewster posted [p:902652390] in Who knows ...
