I bought a used bike last summer for $150 bucks and soon after I bought it I had all sorts of problems . The brakes were soft. The gears started slipping. On top of that I think it's too small for me. I've decided it doesn't make much sense to spend to much money fixing this one up so I'm in the market for a new/new used bike. I don't know if I can afford a brand new one but I realize that a good one is gonna cost a little more. Anyone got any good recommendations.

There's a place in m neighborhood in Greenpoint that refurbishes bikes bought at the police auction. I think they're pretty reasonably priced. I don't know if they're any good; I don't know how to ride a bike.
