Multipurpose Bikes

I'd have to agree with the tire remark. Outside of racing I'd say tires make the biggest difference on choice of terrain to ride on. Hybrids seem to be pretty nice depending on the hybrid bike though. Im looking at one right now sitting infront of me, and their isnt a whole lot of difference between it and my mountain bike. But a huge difference between it and my road bike. The weight is Terrible ..sits somewhere between 32-42lbs. Other than weight id say the Tires are the biggest difference in the ride.

What's A Good Bike

I like to frankenstein a bike every now and then. I my knowledge on bikes is decent but im no expert with all the components just yet. I generally go for a decently structured frame and just upgrade everything else on it. Seems to work pretty well in my opinion.

Tommaso better then other brands?

Everyone had been telling me to spend my money on something i needed other than upgrading to a tommaso bike that had stolen my attention for some time now. After i purchased it and showed it off..the bikes gained the attention of nearly all those that were advising me to get something else with the money. Now they all tend to get themselves a tommaso bike.

Steel Vs. Aluminum

I don't own either type...although i have ridden my brothers steel road bike and it does pretty good on the road. Some shocks wouldn't hurt but the overall ride is still great. Ive been told it has a smoother ride than an aluminum, and if thats the case im not so sure about getting a aluminum bike unless its strictly for racing purposes.

slime   I can't speak for everyone, but for me and my brother we both use these type of tires for our mountain bikes. We enjoy riding through trails that throw every type of terrain at us. With that said...these slime tires SUCK!! It usually last us around 1-2 months before springing a flat. The first flat was a mystery...we still have no idea what caused it, but the second flat occurred from the air valve. Some how they were twisted possibly from a air pump, but the entire valve came off the tube itself...This is a first in all the time I've been biking.

Tube any good?   Anyone familiar with this brand of tube. I was thinking about ordering a few for back up situations and was wondering if it would even be worth the money.

I just put an order in for this Bike Part2

The special day has finally come!!! Bike arrived rather late in the day, but thats OK it allowed me to build up anticipation. Everything is perfect!! No scratches , nothing broken , everything accounted for. I wont be able to tell you how it rides until Christmas Day. After viewing it up close and having something tangible ... Im 300% happy i went with this bike :-). I've already started to order more equipment from the site. Once i get enough funds pulled together I plan on getting some clothing.

I just put an order in for this Bike

This will be my first Road Bike , but I am not new to the biking world. I didn't purchase the Pro build ... but thats simply because i will be hitting up a shop regardless to have it fitted properly for me. I'm actually quite surprised with the speed at which the bike is being predicted to reach me. I made my Order Friday morning expecting to receive the bike by the following Friday at the earliest. Instead I should be delivered this hopefully outstanding bike by Tuesday!!! I will keep you all updated on the pros and cons on the bike, and if I run into any problems with my packaging.

Great looking bike bag   I like the style and everything about this bag. My only concern is the color. Would be nice to get my hands on something similar to this bag but in black and white colors. Anyone know if they will be getting more colors in stock or if this is it?
