Reid Condor Questions & Answers

Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Sounds you need a solid hybrid bike. For this price range I can certainly recommend the City one bike

https://www.reidcycles.com.au/reid-city-1-0-bike.html

This bike is built for long distances, it has a light Aluminium Alloy frame and 21 Shimano gears to help you go the distance. It also comes with full mud guards that will get you to school without getting covered in spray and mud from a wet floor. It also comes with a pannier rack so that you can attach a pannier bag allowing you to take some of the weight off you back.

However if its cool you going for and you want a commuter bike you can't go past the Urban Xo

It doesn't hat the accessories that the city 1 has but it is lighter. It boasts the following features:

Lightweight Alloy Commuter Frame with Internal Cable Routing and Headset
Reliable and simple to use Shimano 7-Speed Tourney gearing
Tough and lightweight alloy wheelset for city riding

I hope this helps you choose a bike. If you have any further questions I recommend that you come into store where you are welcome to test any of bike range.

Regards
Reid

Hi

Thanks for the query!

Here are two recommendations that would certainly be great for commuting

http://www.reidcycles.com.au/urban-x1.html

This bike is from the Reid urban range. its great value for money and features an 8 speed Shimano gearing system and Promax Alloy V-Brakes. The frame is Reid Hydroformed Alloy with Internal Cabling, so it is light and will need less maintenance. It's quick on the road but more durable then a conventional road bike.

The next bike is a Reid City 2. Though this bike is not a conventional road bike it would be very fantastic for commuting. It has 24 Speed Shimano Acera gearing and Tektro V-Brakes. It has a slopped back frame and so is easer to get on and off. It's main difference from the above bike is that it has front suspension. This makes the bike a bit heavier but will take some of the bumps out of the ride providing a smooth journey to work.

For both of the above bike I would recommend that you select a small size.

I hope this helps with your purchasing decision.

Hi jasonkuan. Yes, the Condor is our entry level bike but is reliable and will do the job. If you can move up the range a bit though you will get a lighter bike, smoother shifting, better wheelset, STI shifters (brake and gears in one lever) and better brakes. If you are regularly doing 100km the Osprey is the bike I would recommend - we just had 3 people ride them from Perth to Melbourne in 23 days with no problems! If you are strictly on a budget though the Condor will do a good job and be a big improvement on what you're currently riding.

Hi Candice. The bike would be fine but the wheelset on the Condor is only warrantied for people up to 110kg. You could step up the range to a better wheelset though. Please call (03) 9314 9091 to discuss your options.

Hi cinta. The Condor is $269 http://www.reidcycles.com.au/bicycles/flat-bar-road-bikes/2013-reid-condor-flat-bar-road-bike.html#.UunfW7SksVU
