Dont buy a bike unless you are aware of how to maintain it. Alot of people make this mistake and cant afford to splash out on repairs so it gets thrown to the back of the shed.

well i got a saracen frame under my bed u could have for cheapness never used..i would build it up saving money on the bits that dont go break..spend money on cranks and bottom bracket chain and gear mechanism. Also decent wheels that wont buckle at the sight of there first pothole.other stuff aswell but it would b an essay
