Frames - how do you determine the quality of the welding? I am hoping to purchase a bicycle this week for my "learner" bike. That is the bike I intend to make all of my mistakes with before I build a "good" rider. Naturally I want to do the first one as cheaply as possible since my funds are rather limited. I assume the inexpensive bikes will be rather iffy on QC so I was wondering how can I judge the quality of the welds on the frame? If anybody has pictures that would be really useful! I read on another thread that the Huffy Cranbrook was to be avoided. Does anybody have anything to add to that? Thanks! |
