i found a iron horse yakuza aniki for $600 dollars and wanted to know if this was a good buy or if i should find somthing else

How much money do you have to spend?

 

[aperfectmurder8]

i have up to $900 to spend so i know i cant get anything great but iv heard iron horse is realy good for their prices

Sounds like a decent price so long as it's an 05 or newer and if it's not beaten up. You could use the rest of the cash to upgrade/repair here and there. Just make sure it's the right size for you.

Definetly try to get something nicer, you can get a way better used bike for $900. Check the classifieds and ask anyone with an asking price of $1000 or under... if not, you could get a really nice DH or FR hardtail for that much money. That is the route that I would take if I had that much money to throw around. You can't get that nice of a fully for $900 but you could get a great ht.

Get this, such a killer deal and you'd still have money for shipping.

i forgot to put that it was a 06 new aniki sorry haha but that kona looks great for the price and i was wondering what size i should get im 5'5 and 130 i was thinking about a 19" but wasnt sure

 

[ultraNoob]

A 19" is definately too big for you if you're 5'5"/130. I'm 5'7" and ride a medium (17") or small (15-16") depending on the manufacturer. Any 19" frame is gonna stretch you out too far and you're gonna risk not being able to have children if you crash.

I'd get fitted at a bike shop that sells the brand of bike you're looking at. That way you know whether you need a small or med frame.

you know you can get an 06 aniki off of rscycles for 600 new, right? i'm 150 and 5'5"(ish), and my aniki is a 15", i say tho, if you have the money, buy it. i've put some money into mine, but its a great bike
