I bought my bike at the internet shop, and it got delivered to me from capital of country, and then I had to buy some add-ons myself at local store.

Before that I read some about bikes, wanted some stuff like hydraulic brakes etc.. Also 27.5 wheels were important for me. And no full suspension, I also wanted it to have good speed on highway roads.

here how it looks

Pretty sure though eur and usd are close now, u gotta google that urself.


ahh i see.. i can get a good hardtail for 500 but i liek full suspension for trails and shit

i should just get a hardtail for where i live now.

im going to have to keep it in my house because as soon as someone sees it outside my house or me leaving my house or they could even follow me home...

things are getting really bad here. lots of people stealing now

and high end bikes are constantly stolen in this city.

it sucks that i wont even be able to transport with it anywhere besides bikeride and back home because people would cut a lock like nothing for a 2000$ bike.

got my eye on a santa cruz super light but he wants too much.. i asked him which model it was. theres 3 and he didnt know so i asked the retail price and he didint tell me soo hes ripp off i said bye.. but sad its a nice bike.. im gona phone him again and lowball the fuck outa him and never call him again cuz i think its a 1700 bike and eh was 1100 lol... it should be way less after being used theres jsut a huge demand for cross country bikes

You could barely buy a semi decent fork and or wheel set for 500 bucks, so if you have a nice spec'd hardtail @500 that's pretty nice and worth jumping on, it doesnt sound like you need something you can huck and DH on.

Full suspension or not, I've learned the biggest factor for use is geometry of the frame, namely head angle, and the tires really make the most difference, the Giant Trance is a real nice trail bike.

I'd pass on the 27.5 , the tires and wheel selection is still a wee dodgey, I'd stick to 26 or 29. iirc, your a tal guy, you should roll a 29'er, they really are all that and a bag of fun.

Haha I was thinking about that when buying my car. For the past 6 months I only see how they let me go on my BMW 5 series msportpaket and instead stop geezer cars.
