New Bike....No clue what it is!!!

[Zakk69]

Hello,
I just acquired a bicycle that I can't find any info or value on the web about at all! It is a "Legend Aspid" Off Road Lite Steel. This is all it says on it. Does anyone have a clue about this bike and its value? Please advise!
Thanks
Zakk

where did you buy it from?

Is it me or are the forks on backwards? I'm only on my phone so can't see a big pic but they look weird

 

[wxbull]

^^^^ this. I'm not a bike snob, but don't ride that thing. It doesn't just look awful it will fell awful. I wouldn't buy it off you for a pint

I've looked at my front forks, either mine are on the wrong way or yours are... And it ain't mine.

Forks are on backwards and I really hope you didn't 'buy' this bike. Hopefully you found it or someone gifted to you.

"bike"

Aw it'll be alright when you get the forks turned round. Prob wouldn't go MTBing on it tho might not be up to the job.

It's a BSO, perfect pub bike.

Yep pub bike you won't even need a lock

Forks are Defo on backwards, just undo the nut in the centre of the stem a bit and tap it, you can then rotate them and tighten the bolt back up' As for value realistically about £20 if the tyres are OK.

Id rather walk to the pub.

Hi @Zakk69
Your bike looks like one from a supermarket, cheap and cheerful. I'd not recommend that you go mountain biking on it but for something to get you from A to B, it will be fine once you have turned the forks around so that they are on the right way.

Hi and Zakk

As others have said, it's a cheap, basic bike as sold by toy shops and supermarkets. It won't be light and likely won't be very nice to ride either. This is from experience as I had something very similar a while back:


An Apollo Excel which cost £60 brand new. To be fair it lasted 5 years before everything wore out but it was horrible and I only kept riding it because I was stubborn.

Quite similar to what I have, the frame has some differences but the forks & tyres look exactly the same. Yes, the forks are on backwards.

If it's all you've got, ride it, learn how to maintain it & have fun. But don't spend too much money on it & don't expect to sell it.
