hello everyone, this is me first POSTIE!
so
i am looking to buy a new bike but i am undecided as to which category : road bike, hybrid bike, mountain, front suspension or not...etc?
CURRENTLY: i have a specialized pitch which is good offroad but an overkill for commuting (my aim) as it doesnt reach the speed i want, and has tyres built for much rougher terrain than my flattish british roads. I also have a fixie but it is very uncomfortable and needs larger gear cogs for better speed ( plus i hate bloody rim brakes)
I WILL ORGANIZE my thoughts as well as i can so you dont get confused and abandon me :
1) should i get - one great offroad bike like the ROCKHOPPER and a cheap fixie for commuting to uni - one great road bike and a cheap bike for commuting - only one bike like a hybrid for everyday- keep the old pitch and get a hybrid too - go ALL OUT an get a great mtb plus a great commuter ( F the wallet) or just go walking and forget bikes?
2) if you decide for me to buy a new bike ( whichever category) i will either go on a high spec 700/800 pounder or a cheap gumtree 100 quid banger. NOTHING IN BETWEEN ( as in a 450 pound semi range specialized crosstrail or sirrus....just top of range or nuffin)
3) my dream would be : a fantasticly light commuter at 10kg with road bike gearing (sora,tiagra and 50+teeth) for great speeds that can JUMP CURBS, WHEELIES, SMALL BUNNY HOPS and fly through occasional weekend park trails with its stanchions, delivered in a discrete anti theft black matt with no logo for desirability so i wouldnt be scared taking it to cinema, shoping, town and uni. sooo yeah....as i said its just a dream?
4) its alot of info to process but i cant think it out alone because i will buy something by impulse and not reason without you guys
A BIG THANK YOU
