There's a shop on FB selling these bikes for about 14k on roysambu. Is that a good price for them? I believe they pure steel and may not be as good as the ones you pros would recommend, but they can't be that bad now can they?.

But you ain't an ambassador.... Even Lance Amstrong the legendary "chemically enhanced" rider is never called a pro rider anymore....

For a grown up having such a damp hobby should be discouraged. BTW been at shujaa parking and wondered what in the name of virgin marry there are a million bikes. Kumbe since the place is not busy guys use the parking space, premium location. Kudos. But still tuwachie watoto bikes kwa hood.
