Thanks for all the suggestions and advice folks... Really appreciate all the guidance

All these confessions lol

Very sound advice... I am not looking for a machine that requires repairs immediately or in the near future but there are some bikes that have been dropped and I just wanna make sure whether it's a big deal or not if it was dropped while being stationary. Money is a factor so I am not exactly...
