>I'm jealous, user. Do you think it's worth saving for something like that?
I'd say so.
>Why pay so much? My $50 Walmart bike does the same job.
Sure it does, in the same way that pieces of cardboard glued to your feet do the same job as nice shoes do.
>Wtf that's shit I have a $6000 road bike do you even carbon OP
Carbon fibre is nice and all, but this is mostly going to be a work commuter for me so there's no need to spend almost twice as much to take a couple of pounds off.
>Aren't you worried she'll get stolen?
I'm lucky, I have locked storage at work available. I'd still recommend a lock for someone who doesn't though.
>Congrats OP, she's pretty sexy if I may so myself.
I might be just me, but i've had really bad luck with that. Like chain gets stuck between gears or falling off
Nicholas Ross

Ethan Lewis
why hybrid OP why
Luis Reed
Nice bike OP... do they come in mens models as well?
Aaron Barnes
never had that problem with them myself. Did you oil regularly?
Zachary Roberts
I do, but on the otherhand i drive mainly offroad/sand roads for commuting. Also winter does harsh things on the back gearing.
Grayson Sullivan
ah makes sense
they do gel coatings now for cold weather and dirt, it's more expensive than oil but long lasting and very effective
Lincoln Edwards
op
Jacob Brown
I got last in stock Mongoose Fireline, fucking beautiful thing.
Owen Russell
Because I don't particularly want another road bike, nor a mountain bike. Now I get a light 9.5k bike that can go pretty fast and will be comfortable too. Does that answer your question son?
Aiden Thomas
I use all weathee wax that I use on my motorcycle, works perfect.
Jaxon Cruz
Didn't you fancy an electric for commuting?
Sebastian Perry
road bike doesn't have to mean 22C tires and absurd gears but it does mean significantly more hand positions and versatility SIR
Angel Wilson
I've literally owned multiple road bikes, i'm aware of their advantages
Literally nothing wrong with a good hybrid for commuting, anyone who says otherwise is lacking knowledge or a closed minded elitist
Adam Watson
And I mean that literally
Evan Roberts
nice spacing
Zachary Young
what is a single advantage of a hybrid?
Brandon Martinez
you literally pre-emptively answered all the questions i planned to troll you with.
dammit op. fuck you.
William Anderson
are you going to remove the seat so you can ride the pole?
>being an adult riding a pedal bike >not a motorcycle
Dylan Rodriguez
I fucking hate annoying cyclists on the road. I just want to run them over!
Cameron Richardson
I do both, and neither are fucking alike, you absolute rubbish bag.
Colton Carter
mountain bike and road? what kind of combination is???
Connor Wright
It's like a comfy light slipper, mixed with a 500ml coke bottle washed up on Africa
Kayden King
Yeah ones shitty and one isn't
Daniel Jackson
it has trips, it has to be truth
Gabriel Garcia
Marin was my first decent bike had lots of good times with that one
David Harris
I do off road shit with my Fireline, fuck regular pedal bikes for actual transport. Riding a motorcycle is something else, every time.
Jaxson Evans
I like the bike OP and I feel like your obnoxiousness is to be purposely annoying which i'm okay with on this degenerate board
enjoy
Dominic Ross
>rubbish
Brit, go get enriched
Lucas Cooper
> hybrid
basically another word for a standard bicycle. wouldn't buy one myself, but i have no idea why people shit on them so much.
Adrian Davis
At least not a tourney tx, you have to adjust the rear derailieur every week.
Cooper Long
hybrids are awesome for riding around the city
road bikes are shit for dealing with obstacles
mtbs have shit geometry and ridiculous tires for pavement
Isaiah Sanders
doesn't make much sense to have carbon forks and disk brakes on a hybrid tho.
Leo Johnson
Pretty nice bike OP, I give it a 7.
Kayden Garcia
because they don't understand what they are and it intimidates them to not be in their 'muh road bike' or 'muh mountain bike' comfort zone, in a nutshell
hybrids can be anything you want them to be
Thomas Roberts
>because they don't understand what they are and it intimidates them
: /
you ride a hybrid, don't get too cocky.
Jose Johnson
You're a fucking faggot. I hope a car runs you over bike and reserves to splatter your brains out.
Charles Edwards
Nice! I bought this a 40th birthday gift to myself First time I've enjoyed exercise in 20 years -- commuting 16 miles each way 3 times a week
Parker Myers
I've rode every kind of bike there is, and they were never cheap ones either
The fact is people are uneducated and ignorant towards them
Jace Butler
Did you make a very similar thread last night, where you were wondering why you bought this bike?
Blake Peterson
i don't think anyone really cares what kind of bike you ride except possibly some of the snobbier enthusiasts
Jaxon Hernandez
Mine bitches
James Gonzalez
people just bullshit here. doubt op is really buying that bike
Liam Hall
>except possibly some of the snobbier enthusiasts
aka everyone casual road bike owner
Daniel Watson
yeah, fuck those roadies
Jeremiah Smith
Shitty frame, shitty gear system, and most of all SHITTY WHEELS
Austin Williams
Go to shimano website for service instructions. Or park tool website for videos if you can't read. Front and rear derailleur adjustment is ezpz.
Samuel Hughes
your mom has shitty wheels
Isaac Hall
I know nothing about bikes i just think OP is a fucking faggot
Matthew Moore
I think that's the reaction he wanted though
Jack Taylor
I just bought a fully refurbished 1980 something beach cruiser for $270!
Robert Hughes
You can never own too many bicycles. My next buy will be a full suspension all mountain.
Also, fuck roadies. And fuck local bike shops.
Parker Jackson
i cant even bleed the brakes myself
Zachary Robinson
You are probably not good-looking at all but I kinda love seeing men in suit riding a bicycle. It's adorable and kinda turn me on for some reasons. Thinking about their sweaty butts and sweat mark on their slacks makes my heart skips a bit. No homo.
Jace Ortiz
Get on my level op
Jose Phillips
Enjoy your impotence with that seat. Those kind of bikes cause fertility problems, erectile dysfunction, and can collapse blood flow all together in the pelvis. Very bad to ride that daily. Plenty of people do though, but they suffer the long term consequence for it.
Nolan Baker
Can't afford a real motorcycle?
Lincoln Fisher
Don't want or need one, big plus is no insurance. I keep it in the back of my truck and it saved me a long walk for gas one time.
Gavin Ross
>worth saving for something like that
That's not saving poorfag
Benjamin Torres
ITT: grown men arguing about children's transportation
Evan Mitchell
>oh look so climbers are still a thing after 20 years >reads OP's post
so you bought an off road, "climber" bike to do work commuting? and you paid it that much? aw OP, I wish I could be 1/10 smart like you. go eat a bag of dicks, won't you? you look extremely insecure if your ride has to speak for you. for that price you could get a used brompton, full optionals. I will never forget the looks of the two bike addicts on their 2k+£ bikes when me and my friend overcome them climbing the road. he had a brompton and I had a woman's bike. eat shit. you can look like an ass on the world's best ride with the wrong (your) attitude.
Aaron Cook
>he spent 700 ameribux on a bike that ships pre-built
telltale sign of more money than sense. have fun tearing it down and rebuilding it in a week.
Camden Gomez
got a marin larkspur for $350. 4 years since purchase and it's still functions very well. worth the money.
Easton Lewis
My motorcycle insurance is $35. There's no crying about that.
Kayden Watson
Not where I live, 5 months is around 900-1500 depending on discount.
