  1. How are you liking the Red???

    I recently upgraded from Tiagra to Force and I'm in heaven:D:D

    I don't know if I can go back to Shimano

    The clicks are way too satisfying

    I switched from DA to red. Feelscawesome. I shift gears for fun all the time during my slower training rides

  2. and then once you get a road bike, you'll see that you want to go off road.. so then youll get a cyclocross to do both. and then all of a sudden youll realize how cool mountain biking is and youll get a vintage no suspension mountain bike.

    why is superfuture so 2000late on bikes?

    i still riding my sweet fixie.

    never wanted to do anything else other than road cycling.

  3. People getting rid of their fixed gears for geared bikes.

    I understand the progression as for many people a fixed gear is the first bike they've ridden since they were much younger. What I don't get is people shelling off their fixies for 10-speeds. The justifications of pushing a single gear, no coasting or brakes, simplicity, are contradicted. Vintage is awesome always but is this just an observation or have hipsters realized they're the least athletic people and despite how zen they used to ride now need to shift down on hills?

    On the topic of gears, are bikesdirect road/cross bikes cool? My marine hommie was telling me, twenty miles fixed is fun but sixty miles on a road bike is even funner.

    for the record, i switched to a road bike because i wanted to engage myself in a more serious discipline of cycling. (theres no velodrome in singapore so fixies = street bikes??) and that i wanted to get faster.
