Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[macpork]

I havent really try since I have very low expectation. I bought the 565 dollar version. Matt Black with red fury rims hoping to get some attraction and a fling.

black and red combi sounds good

I just bought cirus master v2. hope I can have a fling soon.

Should get Alex Moulton AM series if you wanna impress the gals.

But then again, if you are huffing and puffing and pushing your atas bike, its not going to impress anyone.

Hi.. My bf wants to get a road bike recently. So I'm planning a surprise for him. He's new to the road bike scene, I'm a greenhorn as well. Any brand, bike model to recommend? And any shop which I can get it from at a reasonable price (Budget 1-1.5k) or is there any second hand bike/clearance sales bike worth to get in the market at this moment. I have also read up about the gear, and I think 105 is pretty decent for him.

Merida Scultura 400 is a decent entry level roadie with 105 components except for brakes and crankset. But like others have mentioned, you do need to know AT LEAST his inseam for bike sizing. Best to get him to try the bike without blowing your cover.

Yeah 105 is gd. Try hup leong at chinatown? The bikes there are pretty cheap and good. Merida is a good brand.

Hup Leong and Merida is a good suggestion also! They may also have Jamis road bikes at good prices.

I think they still have 1 or 2 those weird sizes Jamis bikes that are quite heavy left. 13kg+ kind. Steel bike IRC.

If you can spend $700+ on a new bike but can't spend $60 on a helmet, something must be wrong.

Cirus master V only 565$. Not 700+. I do not spend that much. Because budget tight this is why I ask for kind donation.

Can afford $565 on a bicycle but can't afford another $60 to protect your life?

any recommendations for a foldie? thinking of getting one for my wife (and maybe one for myself).. main purpose probably PCN, relaxing riding only..

 

[IronMac]

U cannot just anyhow buy a road bike. The size need to match his body size.

So true. Cannot just buy a bike sight unseen and expect it to fit.

There's a story of a guy who bought a Porsche 911 to impress the girls. Spent all of his money and was very stretched on the payments. The girls were impressed by the car but not by the tiny apartment that was all he could afford.
