I almost always buy used stuff over new.
Bought a nice used Japanese bike around 2004 at a pawn shop in Fayetteville, NC. In 2014 I was moving from Arizona to Pennsylvania and one of the laborer helping me load the truck seemed way down on his luck and eyed my bike, so I gave it to him.
Could not find a deal on a bike, so ended up buying a used Panama Jack beach cruiser. Looks fun, brutal to ride. Most uncomfortable bike I ever rode. Next door neighbor bought a e-bike, so he sold me his Raleigh for $100. He takes care of his things- purchased with out a test drive. In 2008 I bought my Wife a new Raleigh for her birthday.... just compared them and they have many of the same parts.
Excited to have a decent bike again.
