I have $1000 and want a bike

>>16988245
idk man depends what you want to do with it, bmx's are hard to steal, so idk

>>16988245
Is this your first bike?

If yes, don't blow $1000.

>Thinking a street bike but idk.

We dk either, are you ever planning on riding on grass, dirt, or gravel?

>>16988254
It's for riding around town a lot. Going to work, school, and the like.

>>16988259
I really don't know. Grew up with a mountain bike of course. There are dirt roads around and maybe I'd want to jump curbs and stuff when riding around the neighborhood.

>>16988265
where do you live, what's your height

>>16988292
I live in a first world country and I'm like 171cm tall

a medium hardtail mountain bike and spend ~$200 on good bike locks. Or look around for a good cyclocross bike, maybe used off pinkbike. idk, still buy the best locks/chain

>spend ~$200 on good bike locks

....a fantastic bike lock will run you 40-60. "Spend $200". Who the fuck says this shit. What does OP need, 4 damn locks?

>>16988603
I have a chain thats almost cut proof that cost close to 90 and two U-locks which ran me 80 in total. and a padlock for the chain.. spending 200 to protect a 1000+ bike is good idea, i myself can break those "fantastic" bike locks you admire in a few minutes with a hammer and grinder.

>>16988614
>a few minutes with a hammer and grinder.

Duh, that's stupid. I guarantee if I have a few minutes with a grinder I can cut your bike free of your "almost cut proof chain" or your locks. No lock/bike can stand up to a few minutes with a grinder.

If you are parking your bike where someone's apt to tackle it for a few minutes with a grinder, you need to park it somewhere else.

its okay anon, i know you want to talk to someone., no need to continue with this façade of circleposting.

>>16988642
>this façade of circleposting.

nigga what...I called you out for saying something stupid.

>>16988668
>something stupid
>i called you out
>nigga

id recommend buy something cheap to get started but if you want to spend alot on a bike i reccoment a affinity or fuji bike but i prefer affinity because its steel last long and looks aplha af but be careful it doesnt get stolen

You're so lucky, OP. I wish this was the least of my problems.
