YA I got one at Berts. It was quite a few years ago. There is also a small place in the village of Hamburg that has some good deals. Granted I’m sure there are small places all over the place I just have some experience with the one in Hamburg. ---

Definitely go to the swap and get there early. Eric is cool in Hamburg, Shifting gears is also a good shop up in lockport. I don’t really know much about the offerings in that price range. ---

I got my road bike at Campus Cycle Works on Elmwood. Smallish selection but good people. I worked at Berts for years and years, but its been so long now that I wouldnt be able to pull any discount. If you do decide to check out Bert’s, I’d suggest the Niagara Falls Blvd. location. For $600 you can get a decent, entry level mountain bike new. However, if you want to put in the effort, you can get a MUCH nicer bike used. I’ve seen bikes that retail for $2k+ go for $600-1000 used after only a year or two. ---

[quote=“MaximaSE98,post:12,topic:26639"”] do they still deal with BMX [/quote] Yes they do but their selection isn’t huge so it depends what you are looking for. The thing with bmx is there are 3 very good rider owned mailorder companies that pretty much due to prices/selection are hard to beat. If your looking for some bmx stuff pm me with what you want and I can see whats around. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-what-mountain-bike-to-get/26639.md?page=2)
