Haha a road bike for 100? Just get a skateboard then... If you want a road bike you're going to spend at least 1000$. And that's without all the gear.
@SypherDubstep Haha, well theres a backside to every coin... The pros with my bike is that its extremely cool and good looking- no one has one that looks like mine. And its a total cruiser thats easy to ride :)
@juniorDUHH Not it here, where I am in FL it's not. Bikes can be ridden on sidewalks as long as the cyclist obeys the same laws as pedestrians, and give pedestrians the right of way.
@juniorDUHH You should check all the countries rules before you call everyone an idiot! I think that name might belong to the man without doing his homework.
@juniorDUHH Laws about riding bikes is different in each City. My city allows riding bikes on a sidewalk whereas the city next over, which has pretty much a bike lane in every street, you have cannot ride your bike on the sidewalk.
@awesomeposssum I don't recall seeing a picture of a Roman driving a car or an English Civil War soldier on a motorbike in my country. These roads are as old as Nero...
@zazenzach I do. I got my first carbon about a month ago, and im still getting used to that plastic sound, I feel like im gonna break it but its actually stronger than my old Lemond Etape aluminum. (btw, its a 2011 scott CR1 team).
@zazenzach You really should check to make sure your wheels are properly set in the dropouts, the tires are properly inflated, the brake pads aren't rubbing on the sidewalls and the headset is tight. I can imagine the latter would be fairly important on a carbon bike. Imagine a little play in the headset, and you hit a big bump. Then imagine the headtube shattering. At 25 or 30 mph. I don't want to be on that bike ... or behind it.
@atalayapark Its nice to have an expensive bike but we all know of people with these machines who get dropped by stronger fitter riders on old Reynolds 531 vintage . The cost and weight of the bike makes only a tiny difference in speed.....nothing a few extra training miles would wipe out.
I dont get why Trek made a new geometri on their bikes. The bikes after 2007 are cool compared to bikes from other companies. But they aren´t as cool as the madones from 2007 and before that.
I have been looking for a decent bike but cant find one. All of them have a seat 7 ft above the handle bars and the handles are 7 inches below the front axle. I wont say what it looks like the rider is ready and waiting for.
@Oldone11 that's because most bikes are generally overpriced pieces of crap. find something with a shaft drive. or you can wait 20 years for me to release my own brand of bike with a single sided swing arm front and rear with a ton of standard components for under $500
I have a GMC denali road bike 21 speed it wasn't real expensive but compared to one that is a couple thousand dollars is there any big differences from compared to a cheaper bike
@talkercv while the GMC denali is a decent bike for how cheap it is, there really is no comparison to this and the bike in this video. the main differences are componentry, you can't really tell just by looking at it, but the frame on a bike like this is actually aluminum compared to a cheap steel frame on the denali. the other thing is the shifters, on the denali it has grip shifters like on a mountain bike, while a higher quality bike has integrated shifters, which are right on the brake lever
@Beaster456 Im looking to buy a bike because I can no longer run from soccer and wrestling injuries. You mentioned that the GMC denali is a steel frame, which to me sounds like it would be more sturdy than a aluminum frame. Im a heavier set person (250) so would this GMC bike be perfect?
@merkyourfaceoff Not slowing down traffic, we are traffic. Enjoy paying your gas, insurance, parking costs. I'll just keep riding for free, parking wherever I want, getting exercise while I commute and not impacting the environment around me, or forcing my government to invade a foreign country for more oil so that I can drive 5 blocks.
Hey retard you know that bike your riding on? How you think the road got there for you to ride your pretty little bike on? A truck that gets 3MPG that is not made to follow even the most basic city smog test drove there and magically the road appeared. Of course maybe not recently but a long time ago trees were cut down and birds were killed to put that road there. Does your bike chain use oil? Oh ok? Get a clue and stop acting like captain planet because you ride a bike.
@alcoholidaze enjoy going slowly and being sweaty when you arrive at wherever location you are headed toward, having helmet hair, chance getting hit by a car at low speeds and either being splattered and killed or paralyzed and maimed. I'll just keep driving a car, parking in the multitude of open spaces, having air conditioning and or a heater, and smelling quite nice upon arrival.
I think this Chap is about the best for explaining stuff,you can understand what he is saying. Most American Bike Videos you find it hard to understand them properly but this is the exception, Good Videos.
put those reflectors down... or if you have em you forgot to put your side stand on ;) joke :P but i really hate those reflectors... if i ride in the dark i put LED lights on and use a headlamp in front combined with white strobe...
@timmook That "pussy" is a professional who rode the Tour De France. That "pussy" has more talent on a single inch of his body than you do overall. I do all of that, PLUS more to maintain the bike that I paid 6 grand for. I'm sorry that some of us actually take care of the things we work hard to earn. Faggot.
not worth doing all that cleaning.. I rather change the chain after a few years.. or change another component instead of cleaning for hours... maybe that´s just me (and I´m not particulary rich)
@narognarog A clean bike (or anything mechanical for the matter) will run better than a dirty bike. A clean chain keeps the rest of your components decently clean and therefore they will perform better and last longer.
@crazy4her These days almost all carbon frames are made from a only a handful of slightly different moulds in Taiwan or China and in the same factory, and then different names stuck on.
Gone are the days when Bianchis' were made in Italy, Massi in Spain , what Im trying to say is that all frames are as good as each other now , when a frame had to be brazed or silver soldered the skill of the builder determined the finished frame as to how good it felt .
@pedalman i know what you mean, but inorder to make it economical, it has to be mass produced, the Japanese found a balance between the two with their lean production lines.
@EpiDemic117 You are exactly right, production price is why nearly all manufacturers now have factories in China.
Its not a bad thing 'cos manufacturers tool up by taking their own production machinery and facilities to China so quality is the same, the only difference is the cheaper workforce who are very good at their jobs.
Carbon frames are all the same now , non are better or worse, only the name differs but people still prefer to argue their favorite...Does it comes down to advertising?
@pedalman carbon fiber is AWESOME, probably Necessary for ultralight bikes that are meant for speed. but my idea was to use cheaper aluminum which is more economical and better suited for recreational use.
@EpiDemic117 Ok I see what you are saying , you are probably right again, for recreational use yeah why use carbon...unless mega wealthy
I had an aluminium "Allan" frame many years ago, you'll remember they were glued together ,big chunky lugs it was a very soft frame no stiffness at all, it felt bendy compared to a brazed Reynolds or Columbus frame but as you say it might work for anything other than pure racing. I havn't used a "welded" alloy frame so they might be much better.
@pedalman I think the reason why they where so soft back then was because they never heat treated the frame like they do now, which does something with it's molecular structure making it stronger.
what is that grey hybrid behind you?

@pedalman i know what you mean, but inorder to make it economical, it has to be mass produced, the Japanese found a balance between the two with their lean production lines.

@EpiDemic117 You are exactly right, production price is why nearly all manufacturers now have factories in China.
Its not a bad thing 'cos manufacturers tool up by taking their own production machinery and facilities to China so quality is the same, the only difference is the cheaper workforce who are very good at their jobs.
Carbon frames are all the same now , non are better or worse, only the name differs but people still prefer to argue their favorite...Does it comes down to advertising?

@pedalman carbon fiber is AWESOME, probably Necessary for ultralight bikes that are meant for speed. but my idea was to use cheaper aluminum which is more economical and better suited for recreational use.

@EpiDemic117 Ok I see what you are saying , you are probably right again, for recreational use yeah why use carbon...unless mega wealthy
I had an aluminium "Allan" frame many years ago, you'll remember they were glued together ,big chunky lugs it was a very soft frame no stiffness at all, it felt bendy compared to a brazed Reynolds or Columbus frame but as you say it might work for anything other than pure racing. I havn't used a "welded" alloy frame so they might be much better.

@pedalman I think the reason why they where so soft back then was because they never heat treated the frame like they do now, which does something with it's molecular structure making it stronger.
