3 years ago I purchased a cheap bike ($ 98.-) at BigW. What shall I say - it's now more or less trash. Although I tried to service it - Clare jumped more than once into it (and yes, it hurts to fall down).
I discovered an ad at www.gumtree.com.au: Cheetah Amalfi - ALLOY 3 SPEED COASTER COMFORT BIKE BRAND NEW;
Retail price $ 539.- The seller asked for $ 350.-. I offered $ 250.- I made the deal and now I have a brand new bike.

I hope it will last a little longer.
