Yes bikes have come a long way from when I was growing up and got my first bicycle at the age of about 10 or 11.
I am seriously considering a cruz recumbent of some type and wasn't really sure where to put this.
If I go buy a mountain bike for about $200 and the conversion kit for another $400 + shipping and then any costs for Lbs to help assemble my Bike, I'm most likely looking at a 700-800 dollar investment.
So the real question is if I spend the additional $300 so I can get the freerider. A complete bike that will fit together straigth as it comes.
What I am really wondering if anybody can tell me how the free rider would compare to a stock $200-$300 mountain bike I'd be using as a doner. Are the parts of a better grade that there is a big difference which makes the freerider a bigger plus ? Please realise I haven't followed bicycles in a long time so I know little about the differences of stock parts or the many upgrades there are in bicycles today.
