Red Zone Posted November 17, 2008 Share Whats awesome about cycling is that anyone who has comparitivly little cash can ride the same bikes seen under the euro pros. you would never see this in motor racing for eg. And you can take special pride in putting some guy on his R80k bike away on your R5k scott or raleigh. Take pride in what you can do on your bike, not what your bike can do for you. And secondly, the margins on the high end bikes help keep the bike shops in business and make serving and parts affordable to most people. You dont want the salesmen to ask, what was your argus time? Oh 6:15, sounds like you should be shopping in the R6000 to R7500 bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger cycles Posted November 17, 2008 Share Most guys and gals that have cheap bikes don't realise that WE people who have expensive bikes also experience BAD days. And that the embaressment of going slowly up a hill is as big as the price of the bike. SO.....as i have the money to spend on my bike as i see fit....Remember this....I am paying for the possible consequence of riding slowly up a hill wtih someone who is thinking.....GOD he must be desperate to look good , cause he definitely cannot ride that machine.

GreyOwl3.0 Posted November 17, 2008 Share CW maybe you should keep training until your good enough to be given one of those wonder bikes. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted November 17, 2008 Share i see people at the shop every weekend with clearly more money than sense, walking out with bling-bling. i don't begrudge the fact that they can afford better stuff than me, and actually get a kick out of seeing someone with the same smile on their face that a young kid gets when he gets to take a shiny new bike home.
