I know in the thick of the good times many beautiful epic people were sneaking off credit cards in hot little hands buyin the finest carbon road yokes & then finding themselves too embarrassed to take it outta the shed in case deh epic brudders would slag them to within an inch of their life.. & now this foolishness is just a guilty burden. And we all know shed space is at a premium now.
Well, today is your lucky day my friends for I am willing to help you out.
So if you find this is you & you have one of these in a size Large...also interested in other sizes...wouldn't want to be accused of being sizest...
Colour too...def not colourist either
Has to be fast though.
Well the frame is the most important parts of a road bike, that one looks fairly basic with standard geometry still not bad for â¬899.
That is a savage spec for the price. You could always upgrade to a better frame later and swich the parts over. First thing to get rid of would be that inner ring on the crank though!
Hey , Im looking for a second hand small size racer too, so if anyone has one they don't need let me know...thanks for letting me hijack your thread John, ha, ha
Not bad value,wheels are weakpoint heavy.Frame sizes are odd most people would use 56cm .Top tube can be quite long on 57cm frames which means you will be too streached.Road bikes dont wear out like mtbs so you can get a top spec bike secondhand for 700euro.Have a look around.
you're all wrong this is what Wixipedia told me ! See that bit at the end about offroad.
Well the last time I looked thats what we do be at, from reading this thread I am just a little bit more knowledgeable about non offtrail cycling than I was before i read it, thats space taken up in my brain that I desperately need !! I will not tolerate any more of these subversive attempts at getting a discussion going about non offtrail cycling and I will visit you in the night and shave off one eyebrow..then everybody will know that you are a stinking ,puddingbending, nozzle of a roadie..stop it !!
"A road bicycle is a synonym for the term racing bicycle.[1] In general road bicycles have drop handlebars and multiple gears, although there are single and fixed gear varieties.
It is also used less formally for any bicycle designed for use primarily on paved roads, as opposed to off-road terrain."
