There's no good bike for that price

>>1053121
>good bike for around ~$300
No such thing

>>1053121
Your ONLY hope is to go to a co-op and build one yourself. It will be made of steel and be completely rigid.

That's actually a really hot bike senpai
I love 1x

>>1053118
Thanks man. I'm probably going to order it. I wanna cruise around and maybe it will lift depression.

>>1053103
Was your first thread not good enough? The difference between the bikes comes down to the drivetrain, one has a 1x with a wider range cassette and the other has a double with a closer range cassette. Figure out the overall range yourself (I would guess the double will have greater range) and then decide if you need that much range, if you don't and you want the convenience of 1x then you know which bike to get.

And no they're not ugly, either colour looks fine.

I'm too lazy to switch them off.

I agree 100% I cycle myself but for fuck sakes stop blinding everyone with tose fucking LEDs

There's some nice sections of road that I prefer to use while commuting, but nothing erection-worthy, kind of odd.

It's magnets

>>1052892
I think it's the particular alignment of the bumps in the road that simulate a sexual act or something.

wot

100+ cadence is crazy hard to maintain, at least it is for me.

>into the sea

The real question would be. Which sea?

>>1052797
That ass is more flat than that board.

>>1052815
Mediterranean sea, some 10-15km off-coast. What is it that you're concerned about?

>>1052782
Always get the upgrade

>>1052783
Alright you're right. Thank you femanon

Just because I have a vagina doesn't mean I'm female. Racist.

A good lock with last you through several bikes.

>>1052696
In any case, a good and cheap lock is the OnGuard Bulldog. Small enough to lock through your downtube, one of the wheels and whatever you're locking the bike to, and not leave much room for something to get in between. It also locks on both sides so it would have to be cut twice. And the U part is covered with a rubber hose so you don't scratch your frame. Been using the same lock for like three years now, good stuff.

>leaving heavy lock at home and just not stopping anywhere

Also its now 9 speed.

That's cool, but I just got full Claris shit except crank arm/chainrings.

My front shifter has 3 click stops, but I only have 2 gears. Is it possible to get the new Claris 3x front and use my old shifter?

>>1052454

Quite possibly with a bit of tinkering, I dont know much about triple setups. Not sure if they are rated to 9 speed only on this new claris

Why not wear a bicycle helmet?

Why not wear a bicycle helmet while jogging?

>>1052450
It's worthless compared to motor helmet.

>>1052164
It's called polite pleasantries, autist.

>That cognitive dissonance when your coworkers hate cyclists, but like you so they end up saying weird things like regularly expressing concerns for your safety since you ride to work.

Must be what its like being the only black guy in an office.

>>1052164
Non-cyclists are generally speaking clueless when it comes to cycling. Even some cyclists are clueless when it comes to cycling. I encounter this all the time, and frankly it drives me a bit nuts.

...
>mfw you're riding in full team kit (the team you're actually on), and someone tells you "you'll never go pro, why are you bothering?" (this also actually happened, more than once. Want to strangle them.)


Face it, OP, everyone else; non-cyclists are just plain clueless about cycling and cyclists in general. You just have to smile, nod, and ignore them. They'll never get it, no matter how much you explain shit to them.

I try to avoid bus-exclusive lanes as much as possible.

>>1051914
always triggers me when civilians make a bus of like 60 people wait for them to cross or something. Let the bus go first.

>>1051907
You seem to have mental health problems, OP, I suggest you try fixing them with some duct tape.

>>1051190
its a market economy

consumers want cheap flights at convenient hours with no layovers, so the airlines have obliged that desire. nobody is forcing you to fly Spirit.

>>1051193
This. People want their cheap fares. Crowded flights with the Wal-Mart crowd are the hard knocks.

>nonreclining seats
this is a good thing

If it's in good condition with new tape, cables, tires, etc, fresh greased hubs, and so on, I'd pay $250

Oh wait
>Bianchi
Make that $399 because of the letters on the frame

Make that $500 because of the color of the paint
