I wouldn't try to get a second hand dualy - what ever you save, you'll wind up spending on new parts and maintenance. MTBs get pretty thrashed and if it's for sale, that's probably because it's worn out.
For regular 30km off road riding, you want something sturdy - preferably with lifetime warranty and a good service deal.
In short - buy it new from a reputable dealer and you will be get all the perks.
Most bike mechanics that I know aren't con artists, they will be totally honest and find the right bike for you (they love it like you love Aid) |
