bicycle enthusiasts (BATMAN) tell me what you think of this:

(click the pic)

its a single speed.

Also, how does one determine what size frame they need anyway?

Try this titanium bike.

VERY light.



Or the Cannondale Prophet ( it uses a bible for a bike stand):



Or a Santa Cruz if ur into going downhill:

meh.

I looked at the Ti bikes, but really can't justify spending more then $2,000 on a bike right now.

The downhillers are nice, but that Santa Cruz is nothing compaired to the ones I was drooling over at the Deer Valley national downhill competitions last year (happened to be working on the ski area the day the prelims were running).

and the single speed caught my eye for two reasons:

1) simplicity.
2) it will work my ass off and hopefully help me drop some poundage.

I think there is more value is spending $1k on a used bike than $3k on a new bike.

Just imagine what u might get for $2k on a used bike.

www.ebay.com

eh.

most of the used bikes in this region are being sold for a reason. Which means you would spend a whole shitload trying to get them "rideable" again.

There are alot of people that spend their dear $$$ on a bike because of the new years resolution, only to find out that after 3 weeks of it, too busy with work, family, etc., they just loose interest.

So net net, the bike has "depreciated" with minimal to no use.

Furthermore, it could have been a gift, or someone gave them something better and more expensive.

Nonetheless, $2000 for a used bike is ALOT of bike.

heck, u might have left over $$$$ to upgrade parts like suspension and seat.

BTW, I have a really good gel saddle that have dual springs in them.

VERY comfortable.

Used for 1 month, but got a bike with another gel saddle.

I'll sell it to ya for $40 shipped.

No rips or tears. like new.
