I've been looking for a bike for the summer, to take my kids out on their trailer. Nothing too fancy here but I don't want to end up with the crap CT and Walmart sell. (Maybe its not crap...if so fill me in on whats good..i've only rode things with motors for the past 15 years....some exceptions
).
I've been looking at a entry level Norco or Trek. Such as Norco Pinnacle or Trek 820, definetly looking at used here too.
So for the bike guys are either of these bikes going to suit my needs for comfortable city riding and maybe the odd trail when I get a chance to head out solo? I don't want something thats going to end up with a fouled Deraileur when i'm miles from home and 2 unhappy kids in a bike trailer..
Buying a used bike are there things i need to check for?
