road bikes. Flat handle bars or the curvy ones?

21 Jul

im in the market for a road bike. Im debating between flat handlebars (which im more comfortable with) and the the bars that turn down. speed is important to me and i realize that on an upright bike with flat handle bars there will be more air resistance, but i want to know exactly how much of a difference it will make. I plan on commuting about 13 miles a day. im not gonna race or anything but im sick and tired of all the other cyclers passing me up when im on the road.

How Good is the 1984 Honda Nighthawk 650 as a Motorcycle compared to newer bikes?

16 Jul

This bike has feature that are hard to find on many of the newer bikes. Such as Shaft drive, a gear shift indicator, and an upright seating position. It’s not a boring “standard” motorcycle (as it is classified), but it is not over the top either in the area of styling.
To me it’s like the Baby Bear’s Porrige…it’s “JUST RIGHT”!

what bikes are best for excercise ?

11 Jul

I don’t want to buy a mountain bike. Not sure if I need a bike to lean forward on, or stay upright on. Do I need gears and all that? What should I pay for these? What brands/models should I look for?

Comparable bikes to gsx 650f and more info or opinons?

05 Jul

I am looking to get an upright bike. What I am considering is a used ninja 650r, gs500f, sv650sf, gsx 650f, fz6, or another comparable bike that I haven’t listed. What others am I missing? I am looking to buy between 2 and 3 thousand so I don’t need something super nice. I don’t want to spend a lot on insurance or repairs. and, it has to look cool which is why i didn’t include the ninja 500r. What is the difference between the 3 suzuki bikes for example? are the 650sf and gsx very similar? Are there any other bikes that sit upright that I may have overlooked? am 6′1 btw
interesting. my friend has a gsx650f and I am leaning towards that, but its heavy. the gs500f is 440lbs and i know I am better off with something that has less power. and yes, full fairing is mainly what I am interested in. half would be ok but now its between the gs500f and the 650f. i wonder what sits more upright

Are there any American made mountain bikes?

05 Jun

I currently own a 14 year old Raleigh in excellent shape. The problem is that my arthritis makes any excursion over 7 or 8 miles painful to my wrists, elbows, and shoulders and I think that the rigid frame has something to do with that.

I don’t do hard core riding down mountains, insead I like to ride the Perkiomen Trail in Pennsylvania because it is mostly flat. However, there are parts of it that are gravel topped and I think the slight but steady vibration makes my arms sore after a 30 mile jaunt. I have handlebar ends that help me ride more upright but that by itself doesn’t alleviate the pain.

I have seen where bikes are now made with shock absorbing front forks and a rear shock too. I am this close to buying one but the clerk at a bike shop told me that there aren’t any American bicycle manufacturers around. I prefer to purchase American made goods for economic reasons.

Is it a fact that there aren’t any American bicycle manufacturers today?

are expensive in home exercise bikes worth it?

02 Jun

I want a buy an exercise bike, looked at walmart.com and sportsauthority. but want a good quality bike with a comfortable seat. There are the upright ones which range from 100-300 (for most) and then the spinning quality bikes – around $400+. I just don’t know if it is worth it spending that kind of money? I dont’ want it to break right away. and reading reviews online doesn’t seem to help as there are a good deal of people that like the bikes and a certain few that never do, any suggestions?

What does the Diamondback Bikes warranty cover?

01 Jun

I have a diamondback coil, either 2002 or 2003, and the rear suspension gave out on me while I was riding on a fairly technical downhill trail. I also noticed small black plastic pieces coming out of the front suspension fork (sr suntour) while I was walking back to the trail-head. Does this bike have a manufacturers warranty that can replace these parts?

What do I have to do if I want to replace my bike’s handlebars for dropped bars?

26 May

My bike currently has upright bars. If I replace these handlebars for the dropped ones, what am I supposed to do about the brakes and shifters? Do I reattach it somehow or do they need to be replaced as well.
I recently got into biking, so I haven’t a clue what to do.

Thanks =)
My bike is an 09 Coda Sport.
The specs can be found here:

Does anyone make replacement decals for vintage Schwinn bikes.?

I am restoring a 1975 Schwinn Le Tour for my father and I need to find replacement decals for when I paint the bike.

 

Do you prefer above steering or under steering recumbant bikes?

20 May

I’ve never ridden one but would like to buy one. From your experience, which is better.
