Lewps Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 ^^ that's sick! never ridden in the snow, seems difficult originally built this bike in 2015 - surly steel frame, light weight mavic open pro custom made wheels + shimano 6800 groupset rebuilt it three months ago with flat handle bars because drops were fucking up my neck and shoulders, couldn't imagine a better bike for commuting and light/ moderate touring apple for scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juiceciuj Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 i built a black cross check in 2015 (or maybe 2014?) and got hit and totalled about 6 months later. i then built a pacer frame up with cross check components but wish i'd just gotten another cross check. the seat post is currently froze in it so i'm just commuting no my single speed. the cold and wind has been absolutely awful the last few days. can't wait for the weekend.

Lada Laika Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 First decent day of 2019 - a nice change from riding to work/class in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limo Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It was rainy, cold and windy but my new commuter bike has 44 / 16 gears so I went for a ride anyway. Now I'm cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megapussi Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 ^^ that's sick! never ridden in the snow, seems difficult depends on the quality and quantity of snow. 0-5 cm of light powdery snow is ok for 35mm tires. anything more and/or wet snow calls for a mountain bike with wider tires. studded, of course. the roads i use in the wintertime are pretty well maintained though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewps Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 yes Juiceciuj go crosscheck! Using a single speed is shit if you live in a hilly area Do people downhill mountainbike race in the snow? Is that a sport event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Warrior Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've been watching a bike on ebay, failed to get a single bid on auctions starting at £250 twice now, I was waiting for him to relist it at a lower price so I could make him an offer...cunt just relisted it starting at £280. What the fuck. Cretin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I need to get a (cycling) bike soon, I'm looking at one of these. pretty basic, I guess, but I'm just looking to get back into cycling and get strong with it again after years and years of not doing it regularly.

Lewps Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Usagi I recommend u got to Omafiets in Redfern, best bike shop in Syd with a bike for every budget problem with buying a shitbox is that they're often difficult to service and are not built to last - a lot of bike mechanics i know will refuse to service Kmart bikes. ur better to spend a bit more money upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) that one there's from 99 Bikes though. you reckon it's a shitbox? I have no idea. I do want one that will last though, I've never had a bike that lasted more than 2-3 years and I'm determined not to repeat that. what's the bottom end of the price bracket for non-shitbox bikes? Omafiets website makes my head spin. I should just go into the shop. edit: I like this one but it's like four times what I was hoping to spend Edited January 24, 2019 by usagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewps Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yeah just go in, theyre very knowledgeable and friendly there honestly for a new bike you'd want to spend close to $1000 but theres many deals on new and used bikes to be had, omafiets krew will be able to help u out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Wow, that guy ate shit super hard. I crashed on my bike about a month ago and really hurt my arm.
