Mountain bikes are popular purchases for people who are looking for a bit of recreation, or for people who are looking for an alternative method of transportation. However, with so many different mountain bikes available, it can be rather daunting when a person visits a road bike in order to purchase one. The sales staff at the shop can be extremely helpful, but there's a few things that a person will need to do ahead of time, and a few things that will need to be considered, before a person gets serious about buying a mountain bike.

The first thing that needs to considered is the budget. A Singapore mountain bike shop will have mountain bikes at various price points. The fact is these types of shops will offer bicycles that are extremely affordable to the ones that are extravagantly priced. However, they will have plenty of models in between to choose from as well. Determining how much money can be spent, and holding fast to that budget, will help narrow down the search for potential mountain bikes to purchase.



Another thing to consider, from a budgetary standpoint, is maintenance. If a person plans on riding the mountain bike fairly regularly, they can typically figure anywhere from around $100 to $150 for yearly maintenance. This should cover any sort of wear items that need to be replaced, or any sort of unexpected breakdowns the bike might experience.



Another thing to consider is choosing whether to purchase a bicycle from a mountain bike shop in Singapore or to purchase it online. There's no question that online resources offer more selection, and they sometimes offer slightly better prices than the average bike shop. However, many times these bicycles arrive unassembled and, unless a person has experience assembling mountain bikes, which can be quite complicated, they'll likely have to pay somebody to assemble it for them. This may negate any sort of savings that may have been achieved by purchasing the road bike online. In addition, there's the cost of shipping should the bike not be exactly what they want, requiring them to send it back.



The bottom line is that there are many different things to consider when you want to buy a mountain bike from Bike Avenue in Singapore. Considering the materials that are used to make the frame of the bicycle, how large of a mountain bike frame you'll require and the type of suspension that will be necessary are all things that need to be considered.



Fortunately, when you're buying a bicycle at a place like the Bike Avenue, you'll find helpful sales staff and technicians that can walk you through the process, help you choose bikes that fit your needs and your budget and allow you to take them out for a ride individually. This allows you to strike on one that's perfect for you.
