Bicycle
Highest, best yet cheapest bicycle available to buy in or with: 1) Front and or as well as back Hydrolic and or as well as non-hydrolic brake types. 2) Front and or as well as back spring(s). 3) ‘Bicycle fixing kit’ and ‘bicycle riding body kit’. 3) What else should I look for?

Display each (in black) if possible please.

Note: A website facilitating customisation of a bicycle is desirable…just to get a rough idea…

 * Wikipedia is not a shopping site, but you can try searching for bicycles on eBay, Amazon or AliExpress. 95.245.147.50 (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Define "best" and "cheapest". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:12, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

See the article Bicycle. The popular Chinese Flying Pigeon bicycle used to cost 150 yuan. A professional "LIV ENVIE ADVANCED PRO" Racing bicycle will cost over $8,000 and might be a better choice than the Pigeon if you are entering the Tour de France. Blooteuth (talk) 22:48, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

"Highest" bicycle? See Penny farthing or unicycle. Try a local theatrical supplier, wherever it is you live. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:28, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Assuming you mean tallest rather than highest how about ? Dmcq (talk) 13:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)


 * What is "avaiable to buy" depends on where you are. You might consider using the informational resources of your national bodies, e.g. Cycling UK (a membership organisation) and British Cycling (a sport regulator). They are likely to have websites, forums, telephone helplines, etc. to narrow down your search. Good luck! Carbon Caryatid (talk) 13:23, 30 June 2017 (UTC)


 * We have an article Bangladeshi Cyclists that might have a useful link for the OP.   D b f i r s   20:41, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
