>FAQ:

>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.

Thanks user.

Literally pick one and be on your way.

why hybrid OP why

Nice bike OP... do they come in mens models as well?

never had that problem with them myself. Did you oil regularly?

I do, but on the otherhand i drive mainly offroad/sand roads for commuting.
Also winter does harsh things on the back gearing.

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

op

I got last in stock Mongoose Fireline, fucking beautiful thing.

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?

I use all weathee wax that I use on my motorcycle, works perfect.

Didn't you fancy an electric for commuting?

road bike doesn't have to mean 22C tires and absurd gears but it does mean significantly more hand positions and versatility SIR

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

And I mean that literally

nice spacing

what is a single advantage of a hybrid?

you literally pre-emptively answered all the questions i planned to troll you with.

dammit op. fuck you.

are you going to remove the seat so you can ride the pole?

lmao

>being an adult riding a pedal bike
>not a motorcycle

I fucking hate annoying cyclists on the road.
I just want to run them over!

I do both, and neither are fucking alike, you absolute rubbish bag.

mountain bike and road? what kind of combination is???

It's like a comfy light slipper, mixed with a 500ml coke bottle washed up on Africa

Yeah ones shitty and one isn't

it has trips, it has to be truth

Marin was my first decent bike had lots of good times with that one

I do off road shit with my Fireline, fuck regular pedal bikes for actual transport. Riding a motorcycle is something else, every time.

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

>rubbish

Brit, go get enriched

> 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.

At least not a tourney tx, you have to adjust the rear derailieur every week.

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

doesn't make much sense to have carbon forks and disk brakes on a hybrid tho.

Pretty nice bike OP, I give it a 7.

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

>because they don't understand what they are and it intimidates them

: /

you ride a hybrid, don't get too cocky.

You're a fucking faggot. I hope a car runs you over bike and reserves to splatter your brains out.

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

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

Did you make a very similar thread last night, where you were wondering why you bought this bike?

i don't think anyone really cares what kind of bike you ride except possibly some of the snobbier enthusiasts

Mine bitches

people just bullshit here. doubt op is really buying that bike

>except possibly some of the snobbier enthusiasts

aka everyone casual road bike owner

yeah, fuck those roadies

Shitty frame, shitty gear system, and most of all SHITTY WHEELS

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.

your mom has shitty wheels

I know nothing about bikes i just think OP is a fucking faggot

I think that's the reaction he wanted though

I just bought a fully refurbished 1980 something beach cruiser for $270!

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.

i cant even bleed the brakes myself

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.

Get on my level op

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.

Can't afford a real motorcycle?

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.

>worth saving for something like that

That's not saving poorfag

ITT: grown men arguing about children's transportation

>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.

>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.

got a marin larkspur for $350. 4 years since purchase and it's still functions very well. worth the money.

My motorcycle insurance is $35. There's no crying about that.

Not where I live, 5 months is around 900-1500 depending on discount.
