    Hey beatlesfan... At least the third question now you've asked about bicycles. Ask yourself this - what would John Lennon do? Ever see him (or George) play a shoddy, piece of crap guitar? Nope. John made famous the Gibson J-160E acoustic/electric guitar. That's now a $3,000 PLUS guitar. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Round-Shoulder/Gibson-Acoustic/70th-Anniversary-John-Lennon-J-160E.aspx And you want a $200 bicycle from a discount store? What's wrong with this picture? The absolute worst components possible - assembled by some minimum wage (clueless) associate - little to no real warranty. WAKE UP! "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten" - Benjamin Franklin Or... "REAL bicycle shops do not sell toys & Toys 'R Us does NOT sell REAL bicycles." - Old Hippie Neither does Wally World. In fact...they list their (so-called) bicycles on their website in the TOY DEPT.!!! If you played guitar - would you buy one from Wally World or a REAL guitar shop? Where would John Lennon shop? Go to a REAL bicycle shop. http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/defy.5/14807/66177/

First advice is :don't buy any bike from a supermarket like walmart, they're rideable but breaks down easily and in general not a good investment. What i do recommend is just save up like 200 more and buy a decent bike on craigslist. You just have to find a good deal and you can manage to snag a nice- good brand road bike that's just a couple years old. Bikes from actual bike companies like -specialized, felt, trek, scott... don't use crap frames and their components are much better. I would caution you to not be fooled by flashy graphics, focus on the frame and the components because that's what'll last.

That is not moving up both will be junk.
