Chose between a $40 used bike and a $95 new one for my commute, and I'm second guessing it
I started a new job about 3 miles from my apartment in Portland and had to pick between a beat up $40 bike off a guy on Craigslist or a $95 new one from a big box store. I went with the $40 one because the frame looked solid, but the brakes squeal on every hill and I already swapped the rear tube twice in two weeks. Now I'm wondering if I should have just paid more up front and saved myself the hassle. Has anyone gone cheap on a commuter bike and regretted it, or did it work out once you fixed a few things?
