Hi everyone. Some mountain bikes being cleared out at Big W. As usual with clearance items, these may not be at your local store or may not be at this clearance price. I tried ordering one from a couple of different places and delivery killed the deal if they delivered at all. I don't know if they offer free delivery at all for these.

I don't know much about bikes so I'll leave how good/bad these are up to the community. Maybe some of these bikes are just OK for getting you to the train station or something like that.

      At least they include pedals.

        I'm pretty sure 18kg includes the box too :-)

    • bennybaubles on 09/02/2023 - 15:27

      Any suggestions for a decent budget bike?

    May be state specific. I can see $199 for Repco charger

  • park on 09/02/2023 - 13:27

    Yep no discounted prices displaying when I go to the page

      I tried QLD and NSW for one of the bikes and it was at the clearance price. Just did a VIC one and yeah it doesn't show the discounted price. Seems like Perth may not have joined the party either, at least for the bike I looked at.

      • park on 09/02/2023 - 13:36

        Ah! It worked when I specified what my local store is. Could be worth putting that detail into your original post.

        • ozbs25 on 09/02/2023 - 13:38

          I did try to mention that it may not be at your local and even if it is, it may not be at the clearance price. It's stung me too many times with Big W posts so I always mention it now.

  • Dienk on 09/02/2023 - 14:08

    Is the 29" diamond big enough for someone 6.4?

    • ChickenDinner123 on 09/02/2023 - 14:15

      I think 29" is like the largest size bike you can normally buy, you might have to put the seat all the way up but i should be cromulent.

    • bargaino on 09/02/2023 - 14:25

      29" is the wheel size, nothing to do with frame or rider height.

      You'll need to find a bike that is sold in multiple sizes and choose the large frame. Forget "one size fits all" bikes like these if you are 6.4 , or even if only 6'4".
      Forget BigW or Kmart. I think ALDI has sold large frames though.

  • hippyhippy on 09/02/2023 - 14:38

    Would these be equivalent to cheap merida bike ?

    • jackspratt on 09/02/2023 - 15:12

      Hard to tell without more details on the specs.

      But unlikely.

  • benderz on 09/02/2023 - 14:42

    Vic isn't discounted but would still recommend finding something that isn't going to fall apart if you ride it once.

    My 15 year old $400 special from the local bike shop is still being ridden 30km twice a week. Has some wear and tear on but I know when I pull the brakes the bike will stop.

    • amorn on 09/02/2023 - 17:02

      So you are suggesting to avoid BigW? What do you mean by "local "?

  • yewman on 09/02/2023 - 14:46

    Better to spend at least $4k on a high yield investment bike instead of being at high risk of a frame explosion while riding and getting shrapnel in the leg

      What do you mean by high yield investment? Intrigued.

    • bargain huntress on 09/02/2023 - 21:47

      Is frame explosion a thing?!

  • schwinn on 09/02/2023 - 15:57

    Mountain bike inspired bicycles. Do not take off road.

    • Jonc on 09/02/2023 - 16:12

      Surely this is all one needs to ride around the local neighbourhood parks and bike tracks with your kids right?

      I'm not going to be training for a triathlon, cycling to work or doing any very long distances, just to spend some time with the kids and getting us all 'moving' essentially is the goal for me… what's your thoughts?

      • schwinn on 09/02/2023 - 16:19
        +1

        Neighbourhood parks and anywhere your kids will ride is fine, assuming your kids are not into mountain biking too. Not just the quality of parts and risk of injury but the weight of the bicycle will make climbing most mountain bike trails a real pain.

        • Jonc on 09/02/2023 - 16:33

          Perfect, appreciate that.. I think this bike might be ok for my basic needs, sounds like it's great value at this price..
          - I'm thinking to avoid the one with rear suspension as apparently that is often an issue on cheaper bikes, but the disk breaks are apparently worth getting so might go with that :-)

          • amorn on 09/02/2023 - 17:05

            @Jonc: Sounds like you know better than me :). So what is your choice for basic city cycling? Looking for one too.

              @amorn: I'm also not too sure yet but based on the options above I'm thinking about the "Diamondback Outlook 27.5 Mountain Bike 70cm $159" (save $190)

        • schwinn on 10/02/2023 - 00:27

          Definitely get the hard tail.

          But if you’re mostly commuting, you may benefit from a bike with narrower tires, and less chunky tires - basically will roll a lot better on the hard surfaces, whether road or pavement.

    • amorn on 09/02/2023 - 17:11

      are these reliable for commuting around city? I am in brisbane which is quite hilly. TY

    "Unsafe at any speed"

  • amorn on 09/02/2023 - 16:50

    Are they real brands like Diamondback, etc. as they suggest or …?

  • StiSupafly on 09/02/2023 - 17:02

    Shows $439 for me in WA..

  • amorn on 09/02/2023 - 17:56

    is it online only? called Taigum up, insists this one is not on clearance and 439$.

    • ozbs25 on 09/02/2023 - 19:16

      BigW clearance items can be store specific for whatever reason. Best bet is to see see where stock is around you and change your delivery location and store to those particular stores. The page should update and show you the pricing of that store.

  • bargain huntress on 09/02/2023 - 21:48

    Im just not convinced i can put one together safely
