I recently bought a brand new "Roadmaster" brand bicycle. Is this a good brand?

Answer 1

Any bike under 100.00 is a bad buy.

Answer 2

Hi there. Roadmaster falls into the category of "mass market bicycle." You probably bought this bike a t large retail chain store or sporting goods store - Sears, Walmart, etc. Bike purchased there are not necessarily "bad," but they do tend to be on the lower end of the quality spectrum.

The problem that you may run into is in the assembly and adjustment of the bike. A bike purchased from a bike store might cost a bit more, but it will be of higher quality, assembled by professionals, and generally includes free adjustments for a period. In fact, many of the bikes purchased on the mass market find there way to bike stores after one day because they need adjusting or rebuilding. Most of the time, the cost difference between the two is cancelled out by this work.

Sorry for the bad news there.

Answer 3

I had one like that.I bought it at Walmart for 50 dollars, and I used it for everyday commuting for 3 months, after that I left the area and the bike too.It was okay but the brakes went completely useless within 2 weeks and I had to have them changed and my butt hurt awfully for the first few days from the seat, but then I got used to it.Watch out for the safety of brakes cause that's the most important I think, they are very poor quality.Otherwise the frame was steady and it went well offroad as well.For 50 bucks I had an okay experience for 3 months I have used worse bikes too but there are definitely better ones too.

Answer 4

Roadmasters are fine for occasional on-road usage. They are not for trails or jumping or everyday use. You should see a sticker stating this on the frame, or it is in the owners manual.

Answer 5

no i also got one recently and within a month the chain popped and the bearings busted
