Cruiser?

[shari.ashworth]

Hi there,

I am looking for my first cruiser bike! I would like one with 6 or 7 gears and want to pay a maximum of $400 AUD. A few I have been looking at are these, however I'm not sure if they are worth buying or not!

Please recommend any highly rated bicycles for my price range!

Thank you, Shari

Well buying a bicycle is a hard one for any one to say "Hay get this one" you really need to have a ride on the bike first and see how it feels and ride, but also ride some different ones as well so you can feel the difference in each one.
The second link is more of the style you said you were looking for

Also it is at your price range, cruisers / beach cruiser come in all different price range starting low as $350 for the basics all the way up to the $700 mark, but the these will sometimes have internal hubs 3 speed -7 speed and have better wheel sets maybe colored for a example etc.
You might be able to pick up a bargain at a garage sale... anyway happy hunting let us know what you end up with.

Giant have a few nice cruiser-type bikes at the moment
You could look at
- Suede
- Suede City
- Via

Otherwise, Schwinn might have some that suit what you're looking for, such as the Sprite.

Goodluck with your search !!!
