Cycle for office commute

[Aravind M S]

Hello All,

One of my friends has just gotten into cycling and looking for a descent bike within 15,000/- for office commute. I know that we have Montra, RR, Mach City within this range. 

Are there any other good brands in this range?

Best Regards,

Aravind.

Dear Aravind

Would suggest to increase his budget ie around 20K or so and buy a decent/good bike which he would be happy to cycle on regular basis without facing any maintenance issues.. 

Regards..Rao

You can go for better stuff second hand -

A MTB fitted with slicks or tires that roll faster works better than hybrid in my opinion. A primer here -

In approx increasing order or pricing (~rs12K - ~rs20K) -- Mach City Munich (all steel), Montra Helicon, Montra Trance, Firefox Rapide, Montra Blues.

Depending on commute distance / frequency, & whether there might be longer rides on weekends, it might be worth considering a bike in a bit higher price range.

Btw, those are hybrids, with rigid forks. Montra Trance & Montra Blues have forks with shock absorbers too. There are some Montra Rock & UT Edge MTBs too in that price range, but for commutes, I'd suggest going with a hybrid with a rigid fork, in the sub-rs20k price range.

Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. Let me put it across to my friend. Let him decide.

He could consider a my bike 7speed or a Mach city 7s both ~10k strictly thinking  commutes only

A couple of weeks ago, two of my friends rode a long distance with me on a 'my bike 7s' one to Madikeri and the other to Ooty.

Did you climb up via Kalahatty? On a single speed?

[anil s kadsur]

7s is not a SS

Not me, a friend of mine. Kalahatty, he did partially. I did it (partially as well) on a road bike.
