Is it worth is to buy a Fuji Bike instead of a cheap one?

Question

Is it worth it to get a Fuji instead of some cheap vertical. I mean whats the big difference. I was going to get a Fuji with full body shocks and disc brakes.

Answer 1

in cycling like everything else you get what you pay for.  first step is to decide what you are going to use it for.  if you're not a big cyclist and are just getting into the sport, maybe get a cheaper (but not too cheap!) bike to start, see if you like it and use it, and then upgrade at a later date.  the most important thing is to maintain your bike, no matter what the quality.  proper tire pressure, brake alignment, keep chain and moving parts oiled, etc.  NEVER leave it out in the rain (or if it does get wet, especially sand or road dirt in the gears) you should hose it off and then replace all the oil and grease before the metal rusts.  you will find a difference with a better bike though, gear changes are smoother, braking is more effective, the feel is often better and in some cases more comfortable. make sure the bike fits you as well--many bike stores will do a fitting to make sure you get the right size.  unfortunately i can't tell you whether you should spend the money or not--that is up to you!  :-)
