Before that I had ibert seat for close to 2 years (which I am planning to sell now). If you are planning to buy a seat, buy a front seat as it helps to interact with the kid during the ride. I have been taking my kid since 13 months (he will be 4 yrs in 4 months) and I tell you it is one the best experience you can get. | |

please - no bikes with rear suspension. although if u will only ride as you are claiming, then the hero jet etc will do you job, but are too clunky. ideally the mybike is the cheapest modern bike u should ride. | |

Got a Firefox Mach+ for my son. Looks much better than the Heros and Atlases around. So I am not keen on Hero. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I just gave a call to sports365.in to understand the frame size in inches for L size of Btwin RR 5.1 but the respective lady and the gentleman did not have any idea about the right frame size of the Btwin cycle and cut the phone by giving the lousy answer that it is not the one you are looking for. do anyone can suggest if L size of RR 5.1 is 19.5" or 21' |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Does anyone use a seat post mounted rear muguard? With the monsoon in full swing, looking for a way to save my jersey from muck. Also any short handle bar end recommended for MTBs? I know they were in great demand years ago. Don't see them these days. |

| ![]() As per my observations, the plastic mud-guards are not very useful. Have seen those on my friends bike and still the mud/water is propelled up to your head. I think the full cover metal mud guards are the best choice during monsoon. Though they doesn't look good, they serve the purpose. Have seen many cyclist in Pune installed these on racing bikes during monsoon. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am finally nailing down Btwin Riverside 3. it is available at playmore.in at 25634 and getting it at 23k from sports365.in in snapdeal but the problem is that they don't ship to my place. the only option is to negotiate with decathlon store to courier cycle to my place. |

| ![]() Experts I need a small advice. I am in the market to buy my first bicycle so I don't have much idea about which one to select and how. I am basically looking for something comfortable for my 6 foot frame, something that will be light on pocket as I don't intend to use it extensively. I am looking for a basic bicycle that will be easy to ride and VFM, I can always upgrade to a better one in the coming months. I am getting a slightly used Suncross Xtreme Force for approx 10K. Should I take the plunge? How good are Suncross bikes? Never heard of them. Any other options that I should consider? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() hey guys, any opinions on the LA Soverign Backbone XL (2012 model)? http://www.choosemybicycle.com/in/en...12/Price-India I am 6'3 and slightly on the heavier side at 105kg. The Backbone XL comes with a 21" frame which is ideal for my build but there is also a large (19.5") Btwin Riverside 3 am considering since it fits into my budget. I am a lot comfortable riding the LA Soverign because of the frame size but confused because Btwin for sure is a better brand. What do you guys think?
