Restoring a used bike to good condition: the smart way to ride for less

It’s easy to buy a second-hand bike at a flea market or online. Even with a few repairs, a second-hand bike is an economical option since it’ll usually cost you less than a brand-new one.

The key thing to know: There are certain things you’ll need to check to make sure your bike is in good riding condition.

For example: changing the chain and derailleur, checking the brake cables, tires, lubricating the bearings, and other parts...

The total cost for restoring a second-hand bike depends on its condition.

On average, you should expect to spend between £300 and £350 to make a second-hand quality bike as good as new.

Not bad, especially when you know a brand-new bike costs around £800.
