+1 for road bikes
I ride a Rusty bike too. How much is a decent one?
Should I just buy bolt cutters and steal one?
>>42601813
I bough it for about 200€ used. You have to look around a bit. Ofcourse you can steal it when you live in a major city.......the difference is night and day really. Used to look down on roadbikes but OH MY GOD IM NEVER GOING BACK
>>42601711
This is what i ride 15km daily to work
Should I invest in a retro roadbike since the newer ones cost multiple hundred bucks which I dont want to spend on since I have a car for longer distances.
>>42601828
Damn that good huh?
No wonder my fucking quads are always more tired from riding Rusty piece of shit for 30 minutes than squatting 140kg... I literally use a shitty Walmart bike ive had over 10 years
>>42601843
You can kind of think about it like lifting weights with a four sided bar. Its going to work but you will always cut your hand. Something about the geometry on a road bike and the way you lean into it makes it that much easier to utilize your legs to the fullest.

is Pic related OPs own bike or just similar?
Miring the retro coloring and style
>>42601711
Whats a fuck bike?
>>42601976
A bike that fucks you over
>>42601958
similar, mine has a white saddle
>>42601813
>>42601828
Are you guys niggers
>>42601711
>flat pedals
>that saddle
Pretty nice retro bike, though. What are the downtube shifters like?
>>42602185
Has this been answered?
>>42601711
Peugots are pretty nice used to have one, should upgrade in about a year.Slam the stem for now, get some fenders a rack and a pannier, makes a world a diffrence for commuting.
>>42601813
1000€ for a 8kg bike. pretty all shimano brake/shifters are these days good enough for amateur bikers claris<sora<tiagra<105<ultegra-dura ace
even ultegra you can get new bikes really cheap atm but an amateurs definitely not need. claris maybe too low i dunno
aim for under 10kg preferably under 9kg bike weight. under 8kg you are mostly looking at carbon bikes then, 2k € and over class, not needed for amateurs or sunday bikers tho
>>42602909
Fucking spoilt bitch with shitty track bike that she can't do shit with
>OHHHHH IM SO HAPPY ANON, FUCK ME, FUCK ME IN THE ASS PLEASE
Shallow gold digger bitch fucking blonde whore
>>42602931
lol, nice rage :D would probably beat your amateur cyclist ass on the race 100-0
I bought a motobecane for 80€ two month ago. Good rétro Stuff
>>42602956

I also bought a red Peugeot 3 days ago. It was 220 Euros in good condition.
My first real bike and I like the retro design.
The only thing is the highest gear works fine but makes noises. I dont know how to fix. Where are the bycicle fags on 4chan?
>>42603669
Hardest gear in the small ring at the front? Pretty normal, it's just because of how the derailleurs align; you shouldn't use those gears anyway
>>42602931
look at her legs, she propably can do shit with it.
srsly dude get out on the saddle instead of making yourself a fool on 4chan. You are alooser nothing more
>>42602909
you can get a < 8kg bike for about 1,800€, with Shimano 105.
Carbon is superior in any case, expect if you crash. Amateurs should consider buying (having) a good bike, and also have a winterbike.
Glad I could help
>>42604016
Amateurs means those who are racing (with lizenz)
>>42603746
Its not a normal noise. It makes rat rat rat, other half of the chain no noise, then rat rat rat noise again.
>>42601711
I've been biking with a shitty mountain bike the past 6 years. Only about 100km a week, but it killed me. The rusted gears and chain made it a bitch to move as well.
Any tips on a proper road bike? I'm looking for one, but my local shops dont have anything under $800 and I live in the middle of nowhere.
Should I just get something used for cheap and upgrade it, or spurge the extra money for something decent?
>>42606845
get a retro
Damn, you people are retarded, you dont even know what a good bycicle is or how its works. I hadnt come here since a little before that faggot Zyzz od'd in thailand, seems like the place really took a nose dive in quality , im out.
>>42607011
What do you ride? A mountain bike from walmart.
todays ride lads

something went wrong and i had to reupload it, i dont use a hrm
>>42607413
No question my child .
>>42601836
retro is just fine
stuff from the 90s up is best quality but shitty looks
>>42603669
let it run and check if the derailers are touching the chain when they shouldn't
then adjust with screwdriver
(it's all lightwheigt stuff, so it deforms a bit when you put force on it)
also never grease just oil
>>42606845
get something from ebay for 100 bucks
check what's not working and buy additional used spare parts
road bike quality from 60-00s is good quality stuff, and almost all shimano parts from 60s -00s are interchangeanble (no dura ace tour de france tier shit, but most)
>>42605254
Gent?
>>42601711
Is it worth lifting if I mainly do cardio?
Is one time a week enough to see any gains?

Twice a week full body is sufficient
