Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[p00p00]

anyway guys, i feel like getting a hybrid to complement my mtb (mtb when i go off-road and hybrid when i am going for distance)

Was looking at wilier asolo 2014 @$825 but felt the ride was pretty harsh when going over the road hump during testing. The shop was recommending me to get the louis garneau which was comfortable during testing probably due to a shorter handle bar as well as tyres which are not pumped fully (bouncier). however, the design of the bike looks dated and ugly.

are there any recommendations of bikes of similar price range? saw polygon heist 5.0 online and saw that they come with front suspension. thanks!

My other bikes are much more 'cleaner'

hmm, the bar tape, the end there got like a scotch tape, i put the scrotch tape all the way to the end of the bar, then when finish i stuff all the one outside into the hollow end, then put the cap, the cap go in must be super tight if not will drop off

I am using a MTB clip system with large platform on my roadbike...so I can use normal shoes if I dun feel like putting on clipless shoes for rides.
