Fat Boab Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 What's wrong with riding a Merida? It still does the same job, does it not? Fish on!
SwissVan Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Just curious. Is it better to be a mid of the pack weekend warrior on a Dogma or C60?And don’t forget the shin covering multi coloured socks
Patchelicious Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 C60, it shows you have style and knowledge of a heritage you claim to know but know very little ofEddy has a C59, amongst other gems, and knowledge far greater than most on the heritage.
Paulst12 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Just curious. Is it better to be a mid of the pack weekend warrior on a Dogma or C60? The new C64!!!Now that's HOT
EmJayZA Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 C60, it shows you have style and knowledge of a heritage you claim to know but know very little of It's a stunning bike. Hands down. I however did not claim to have any knowledge of the brand's heritage (or any other) for that matter. If I were more than just a weekend warrior, I would probably be riding around on such a bike. However, riding one now would just mean I have more money than sense... You guys may scoff at Merida, but it's a gateway into the sport, and enables the not so snobby (or is it "stylish?") access to the sport we all love.

EmJayZA Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 I don't even ride a Merida. Is it the same as a Jamis?
Nakoota Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Eddy has a C59, amongst other gems, and knowledge far greater than most on the heritage. Not anymore he doesn't - It is in my profile pic now My Merida has been relegated to the trainer never to be seen in public again.

Umm, okay, not sure why you are defending yourself when I was having a dig at people that ride those bikes and who are snobs. . . Nothing wrong with a Merida. . . I ride a Giant that comes from 2000, with a groupset from 1996. . . You ride what's in your price range and affordable, no issues about it

dave303e Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 much easier to buy top riding gear and hobble around the local coffee shop in cleats. If you have the top end gear someone will assume someone else's Pinarello parked outside is yours.

Ow you're both wrong :-)
s14phoenix Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Well this thread wondered off into the bushes... (Probably to get rid of some marginal gains)
EmJayZA Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (Probably to get rid of some marginal gains) Isn't those top end bikes the epitome of marginal gains?
