cp101 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm rather torn, keep my old bike ( specialized p.3 ) or get a new bike altogether. If i fix up my bike ( the process is going to be rather spendy, new fork, new back tire, new crankset ) but if i buy a new bike, it'll be about 100 pounds more expensive. help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mash65 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Are you mad in love with your Specialized? Can you afford the extra £100 or should you be spending it on something else? Is your Specialized good for what you want to use it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 i would try and fix up your specialized and use the extra £100 to make sure that it is good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 i would try and fix up your specialized and use the extra £100 to make sure that it is good condition Or build up your specialised, then sell it, then use that money to buy a lush bike.

Simpson Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 But surley by fixing your old specilised its actually upgrading it so your quid's in and got a better bike than buying a new one, depends how much you know about bikes as little bits suck as a £17 mech will add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Id buy a new bike i think in the long run your gonna end up spending more money doing up your old bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 It all depends on the spec of your specialized and the spec it will be when you have done it up, and how much it will cost. If the specialized will be a good enough spec when you have finished and you will be happy with it, stay with it, but if you will have to upgrade anyway when you get better, then it is best to buy a new bike now, saving you money in the long run.

Onza Kieron Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I think you should buy a new bike and sell the Specialised, if you ride trials you would benifit loads from having a trials specific frame rather than the P3 which is jump specific. Hope this helps :'( Kieron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
