| BIKE FOR SALE: A cruiser, Benotto, 11 MONTHS old! 7 speeds New: 8,500 pesos (about $400.) (That includes tax and free delivery, purchased direct from Benotto in CDMX, as I did) My price: 5,000 pesos (about $240.) (Non-negotiable; cash only) ***** TIMING: I would like to have someone pick up the bike early in the week of Feb. 21 - 24 (Monday - Thursday). I leave town on February 26, a Saturday. ***** EXTRAS: Comes with a small pouch/carry-all which I purchased on Amazon. Attached to the front handle bar. 'Not great (the zippers are just a little small), BUT ... it does the job. And it's free! LOL) See photo. Also, I have a bicycle pump, which I'll include. The same age--about 11 months old--which I purchased at a local bike shop. See photo. And, a small bottle of chain lube (teflon)! See photo. SIZE: Benotto only makes one size for this particular bike! BUT ... I'm 6' 1", and the bike is just a BIT too small for me! I have the seat tube extended all the way up. I would guess that if you're 5' 11" or smaller, the bike would be fine. PROBLEMS: There's a clip on the rear fender--in the middle--which broke a few months after the bike arrived. I've fixed it using a bit of wire--to keep the fender centered and up off the wheel. See photo. Also, the rear brake squeaks! I've read that cleaning the rim with alcohol might fix the problem, and/or adjusting the rear brake pad might do the trick, too, but I just haven't gotten to it. OVERALL: The bike is quite comfortable to ride. It's NOT stiff as I thought an aluminum frame might be. I've ridden it from my apartment to the downtown area--about 8 miles, round-trip--time and time again. 'Never had a problem. Oh! There was also a period of 5 months--during the really HOT weather!--where I didn't ride the bike at all. You can find all the details here: https://tienda.benotto.com/Bicicleta-BENOTTO-City-MAILLY-R70... * I have photos!!! I'll work at including them here, but I can send them to you via email, too. (I'm advertising "early" to ensure that I can find a buyer. We don't need to exchange any money now, though. You may want to see the bike, test ride in my driveway, etc. When I find someone who's sure they want the bike--at the price and within the timeframe--I'll take the ad down.) |
