I get it. Buying a complete is a simple way to get into racing. Also, easy for the uneducated as they don’t have to assemble anything. But for the price of some of these and the components listed, you’d come out ahead building one up. I’d also guess, many will be changing out parts anyway, especially those already involved in racing and wrenching.…Read more

Love your rides through the city. Was just up in Brooklyn. We caught a Mets game in Queens. Watched the Knicks win at a neighborhood watch party. Pure chaos when they won. Thanks for the content. Always feel positive and motived to ride after watching your vids.

Amazing. Ever since these came on the market they have been a hit with all types of riders. I see them everywhere. Essentially half the price of the Huffy. The great thing about these is you can invest in the frame, then depending on your budget and skill level build them up to be what you want. Dress up or down. I’ve ridden a few at the tracks…Read more

Meh. So many good cranks sets out now. Nothing stands out with these. Some swirly machining? Seems kitschy. The price point is decent. I do like the range of crank arm lengths.

Big fan of Fizik’s. Had a few pair over the years and run them on my road bikes. They aren’t the crossover style like these. They are dedicated road bike shoes. But they are durable, light and comfortable.

Nice. You need some clips to go with the drop bars. And maybe a dropper seat post. Then you can raise the seat and go full aero on the road and drop the seat and still get your gravel on.

That traffic is hectic. I’m sure you’re used to it. Even if you had a kit your pads were shot. Probably a good thing he didn’t have one in stock or you would have continued to ride on worn pads and possibly made things worse.

Not a huge Zeronine fan but this frame is slick. The integrated seat post clamp is a nice touch. I do not like the chain tensioner nor the others on the market that work similarly. It creates drag on the chain. More wear and tear on the part and something else to break or deal with maintenance wise. The bike as a whole is very blocky yet somehow…Read more

Agreed on the brake situation. I can only imagine they have both options for different markets. Kind of looks like it belongs in a big box store as a “high end” kids entry level race bike. I never see bargain race bikes in those stores. Just the same old “Freestyle” bikes with jazzy paint schemes that weigh 40 lbs.

The white one is tapered and the black one is not. Both versions are offered on their website for the same price. The welds look a little rugged. Overall, nice looking forks.

The tech is cool. It’s a great looking bike. But……Is it a realistic race bike that would last the rigors of a full season of hard racing? It’s neat for sure. I have my reservations about it being durable. I also question is it too light for the track.
