Current Events > I finally bought a bike

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm kinda excited for it to get here

Bike is $240 after the discount code. From what I can tell, it's a decent entry level bike, which is all I'm looking for. I wasn't looking to spend $500+ on a bike, and all the used ones I see are way too overpriced for what they are.

Gonna have a local bike shop put it together and tune it for me.
Let's hope I actually use it consistently

A fine looking machine

I hope so...I also hope that I actually regularly use it

Not gonna lie, I wish I understood your references more

Nice bike enjoy it.

Ive got a bike you can ride it if you like

I don't know anything about that company.
But that seems pretty legit.
Except I don't like that it is playing itself as being Italian.

You are going to want a new seat.
It says its gravel, but I wouldn't beat it up to much.
But it does look like a nice Hybred as we used to call them.
AKA: A bike that is good on the road, but can do some off-roading without everything falling apart.
You will be pushing the tires as they seem wide, but that is also good for stability.
It looks you have plenty of gears to play with.
They don't specify the component oddly. Probably Shimano.

What are you using it for?
Can it accommodate a rear rack?
They can be useful.

You will enjoy that though.

From what I understand it's made by the people who make Kent bikes or something. But yeah, I'm fully aware it's a budget bike and I'm not expecting anything special.

I plan to ride mainly on roads, sidewalk, and paved/unpaved trails.

The tire shows as 30mm, so like you said, I wouldn't be doing anything to crazy off-road, but it will be capable when needed.

I was reading some reviews on Amazon for it and saw someone mentioned a rear rack so I'm thinking I should be able to. I'd like to be able to go to the grocery store on the bike at times
