Show your budget bikes

[Kalahari Vegmot]

Nice man! This is what it's about:having fun. You don't need an expensive bike to do that-and it's so much more fun passing the spez mafia on a cheapie anyways!

Lets make it a contest.

Mine is a Sparta Delphi that I use everyday and average about 15km's a day during the work week and about 20-30km's on the weekend.

 

It cost €199 which translates to R3030. The best part is that it is a single speed with a sealed chain so I only have to service it once every 6 months to a year.

Trails are not that plentiful in Amsterdam, but she does see a lot of bricked semi pave roads.

Here's my one and only. Considered a budget bike internationally. Here it is something I'm financing... Loads of fun, stock tires are quite good, only terrain I have not tested it on yet is muddy areas. But sand, dirt rivers it handles well.

 

Loads of fun, and I get to peddle a lot less than the riders on their 650b's.

Here's my steed - love it - love it more when I overtake someone on a R 100 k Spez...

 

First owner dropped 2 x front so it's 1 x 10 SLX with Ritchey Trail Bars and 50mm Stem and a Fabric Saddle.

 

Tubeless with some donated Schwalbes.

 

She ain't slow...

We need to define budget bikes. As in cap the value. Or at least define its value by total spent.

Some of these bikes don't fit the budget category in my book. How about 10k. In which case. I could probably post all my bikes here

I paid R 9500 so I'm good. 

 

But yes, something I've noticed in my limited time here - budget has very differing definitions...

I have a Marcello Road bike, mix of alu and carbon frame and some carbon parts. All in all it cost me about R1500 but lets round it to R2000.

Here is my first Critical Cycles cruiser bike.

I was surprised to see good brand name tires at this price point..

To be honest, I can't say enough about this bicycle, I love it like I loved my first new car, it's cool, smooth ride, I even get to sit upright, which does wonders for my back

Is it just me or is there really no picture?

His bike is so cheap you can't even see it

10K sounds good. By today's standards that is about what an entry-level bike costs...

I thought this was going to be a thread about how people showing their budget for bikes.... few... that could have ended badly.
