Trek 7.3 FX 2016 vs Pinnacle Neon 1 2017

[vickster]

I'm in London, near Kilburn. Height - 5' 11"

Kentish Town would be doable for delivery once deposit received A short ride back to Kilburn

Do your inner tube valves have a little screw on nut that sits against the rim? Last time I had a little clicking noise from a wheel that was it.

Yes they do. They are tight though as I checked them. Or are you suggesting that they make a noise regardless of being tight or loose?

Saw the ad, sounds good the only hold up I have is not being able to have a test ride first which I'm assuming is the case!

 

[vickster]

I'll PM you

Out of the two I'd go for the Trek, in the OP, but @vickster 's bike in the classifieds will be a much better bike and a bargain too.

Not had a noise when tight, just thought I'd mention it as a possibility.

It appears he'd rather a new bike which is perfectly fine

Oh well.

 

[vickster]

Oh well.

Yep. To his point above, I have offered to take the bike into London for him to test ride with no obligation

I expect the posters mind was already made up about one of the two and just wants some reassurance.

Yep, he's tried them out already. He's concerned about a used bike falling apart

 

[Drago]

The best reassurance is to cock a leg over and have a blat. I wonder which he preferred?

The Whyte is no more likely to fall apart than the the two in the OP.

 

[Drago]

We know that, but a novice might not. Still, keeps used bike prices low form the rest of us canny buyers

Neither it seems. Both comfortable
