There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a bicycle.
First off, there are many different categories of bicycles these days.
In road bikes, you can get a road racer with standard geometry or compact
geometry. Some road frames are designed to maximize comfort, putting
the rider in a slightly more upright position than usual and with easier
gearing. Others are build for racing or touring. We now offer
carbon fiber bikes now starting at just $1400! The hybrid category now includes many small "niche" categories. We carry hybrids for country roads and easy trails, hybrids for mostly pavement, hybrids for only pavement, and tandems. The hybrids start at $275. Mountain bikes come in front suspension only models known as hardtails, and full suspension mountain bikes have a shock on the front wheel and the rear wheel. Full sus bikes come in standard travel or "race travel" suspension which ranges around three inches of shock movement. "Mid-travel" full sus bikes are usually around 4-5 inches of shock travel and are also called "all mountain" bikes. Long travel mountain bikes usually have 6-8 inches of travel and are generally used for downhilling, freeriding or "hucking". The 29 inch wheeled mountain bike is represented in our shop by Cannondale, Redline, Surly and Raleigh. Mountain bikes with front shocks start at $250. Full suspension bikes from Cannondale start at $1400. Our kids bikes start at $99 and up. Considerations such as frame materials, brands, colors, and prices are also factors in the bike purchase decision. Perhaps the most important and often overlooked factor in the bike purchase is who you are buying the bike from and who will service it. Dexter Bike and Sport is a pro shop dedicated to providing the best brands and service available. We are the only shop around with a certified mechanic with pro team experience. Would you want an eighteen year old kid working on your $2000+ bike? We didn't think so. When you want the good stuff, you'll know where to shop... Dexter Bike and Sport.
