Default Re: New to cycling

It is an interesting color based on that pic, but at the same time, I like it and how bright it looks. The componentry seems reasonable too. I hope its nice and crisp when it changes gears for you. The ST-R221 shifters, are they rapid fire?

Other than that its a clean looking FBR bike that should give you plenty of fun.

Those tires I have never heard of getting 100psi. That's huge since mine have a max of 70psi. I suppose that has to do with the fact they are proper slick road tires yeah?

Bikes have really come in leaps and bounds since I was a kid. I had an 80s Marauder bmx and that weighed in at something like 20kg and had coaster brakes only. Ok for a kid I guess, but getting my Kona since those times is a HUGE difference.
