Question

so my bike got stolen now i need a new one, is it cheaper to buy a new one, or have it rebuilt using old frame? i had a specialized hard rock 07, have a Gary Fisher Marlin frame.

Answer 1

Buy a dang tough lock first to guarantee your bike's safety (  www.wheelworld.com). Time to refurbish your other bikes---there are new and low priced gears in these websites ----pricepoint.com,cambriabike.com,blues...  Unless you are willing to spend to UPGRADE your Specialized ( which I advise)---its better than scoring a new bike. Sell the other bike ( Fisher) at EBAY---with upgraded equipment so you can have extra dough for maintenance....

Answer 2

well parts are extremely expensive if you want a good bike i would know i race bmx and i would recomend buying a used bike that has been upgraded you can get a good bike for about $400
