Are you mostly riding trails? Fatbikes suck on pavement.
well said. A quality mountainbike from the 90s is better than a modern bike from walmart.

Scwhinn is not what itused to be. I bought one from walmart thinking I was balling poured about $200 into it thinking im the shyt. And had a catastrophic failure from the manufacturer. I then studied up on it. Bought a specialized rockhopper off Craig for a bill. Put about $500 into it amd now I have a decent entry level bike that feels like a couch on wheels.
Mostly city riding

My other concern is I'm 6'4.
I know theres a certain bike size I should get but I dont even know how to measure it.

I might need to go to a store

Yeah hit up a store and see which one is best for you and make a note, then go from there

I’m in the process of narrowing down what I want. Does anyone know of any black bike shops in NYC aside from Dixon’s? I don’t have any qualms going there but if there was anything in Manhattan that would be great

The place on queens Blvd closed. The only place left open maybe the one by the old movie theater.

my dad bought it brande new for me
the prices went up 5x since then and they look ugly now
i use to get mad hate for it because it was brand new, red/chrome and had springs in the frame
one time i came out and nikkas stole the seat
another time nikkas punctured the tyres

I hate to sound like courtdog, but craigslist can be good to a nikka if you want check them out. A brand new bike versus a new one doesn't make much of a difference as long as it ain't rusty and works. nobody out there checking you out for having the latest bicycle release.
