J-Man said: this is the bike I looked at today.

i know this is a pretty crappy bike for those of you who are into biking, but im purely a recreational rider … and my finances dont really allow for me to get much higher than the $500 range (this teacher hasnt seen a raise in 3 years). other than ragbrai, i would probably use it once a week or so to give my knees a break from running. 
they had a quick 4 also, but not in my size (im 6’4″)
thoughts?

Hi J Man and welcome!  Buy a bike that you like and that fits you.  Double emphasis on the fit part!!   Don’t worry about what we think!  You will have to ride that bike not us!  Are you buying from a bike shop that will make sure the bike is right for you?  See you on the curb in Iowa!
