My 12 year old wants a Road Bike.

I've been looking and have about $300 to spend on a nice 54-58cm.

but the "fixie" craze has everyone pulling apart all the nice Road Bikes in that price range.

does anyone here have a line on a nice Road Bike in that price range??

Something from this Decade and nothing from Wal-Mart?

There's a lot of Schwinn, Peugeot, Motobecane, Nishiki, etc road bikes on Craigslist that are pretty good.

I think your better off buying a used good quality road bike, rather then a cheap new one that will fall apart. You should be able to find some nice Cannondale's on Craigslist in the 300-400 range. My mate got a 2002 Cannondale R400 for $250 on craigslist, which is a steal considering that bike is well worth $500. Just take your time, and bust out your low balling skills.

I highly suggest you buy a good quality bike to start off with, I've put over 8k miles on my 2005 Cannondale R500 a year, and besides regular maintenance, never any problems. And resale value is great.

Also, make sure he gets properly fitted. Don't want him getting back or knee injury's for riding a bike that doesn't fit.

Well hope to see ya at the next BBQ, looking forward to some more of that smoked brisket!

Dickeys Barbeque has moved into the area just last month. I've been getting my BBQ fix from them, they have great sauce.

u **** there is a performance bike off alice parkway. it's only a whole 5 MINUTES away from Irvine.

Spend $200 bux more and get your son something brand new. You aren't going to find a bike like this for $523 at a bike shop. This is actually something decent....not used junk. Aside from rebuilding rotaries for 8k (10K+ for FD turbo) I sell bikes for a living.
