Hi, just want some free advice!
Im new to cycling and have just started riding my brother's Raleigh voyager from Windsor to Woking once a week for leisure. Its a great bike but i think i might do more off-road riding in the future and was thinking of an entry level mtb. I would like to stick to a Raleigh because the voyager is well built and im impressed with its handling even though its not a full off road machine. After researching online, ive decided to go for the raleigh at10 from this website: Raleigh Bikes ::
I just wanted to know what you guys thought about buying bikes online, im not very m,echanically minded, but my brother is, and he reckons i could build and service rthe bike myself and wouldnt need a trained bike mechanic to do the job. So i guess my question is: how easy is it to build a bike thats '85% assembled' (whatever that means!).
your advice would be greatly appreciated,
