Damn I love my friend's new bike *__*

If only it didn't have a dropper..

 

[Gianclaudio]

Sorry, not a big fan. Especially since they're discontinuing 26" bikes from what I've heard. But for what it is, good spec! Go for it if it feels right

I'm torne between upgrading the Diamondback, or just selling it and buying the Giant... damm

xD Voittaa se Audin ainakin

Did you just call him anakin? as in skywalker anakin?

This looks like a really attractive deal to me. 1400€ for a CF frame that I can jump on and ride straight away. What do you guys say, do or don't?

Well TBH, hardtail frames don't differ that much from eachother. I'd say keep the Diamondback and upgrade when something breaks. Maybe give it a nice paint job to make it fresh again

Phew, yesterday was on a six hour ride, today on a ten hour ride, and I'm planning to go again tomorrow, incase we don't go boating. Cycling really is a plague

Naah, ainakin is at least. As in "Beats an Audi at least"

@Zonda, sorry can't really help you on this one, don't know anything about road components. Looks like a sweet deal though, is the site trustworthy? If it is, go for it! The bike will anyway come with an assumably two to three year's warranty, so you'll be safe the first years at least

How many HP do they ad on MTBs?

They actually take away from speed due to the added weight and reduced aerodynamics They do protect the fork though! And cranks would look just horrible all rawed out. Unicorn sticker on the other hand adds scary amounts of speed!

Is this an anti-aircraft cannon or am I mistaken?

You're not mistaken! Positioned to protect Helsinki from Russian bombings in the Continuation War. A German 88mm FlaK 37 IIRC. Had some different name over here though.

We were just having a break after pedaling up that hill, so we thought we might as well take some pics before dropping in.
