The R3V Bicycle Thread

Thinking of buying a GIANT Boulder to beat around town in. I never owned a GIANT. how are they versus a GT or Trek?

Thanks,

Sold a car and bought this about 2 months ago:



Was going to wait for the CAAD10 to come out, but I couldn't wait... plan on getting used zipps soon.

Misson success! Picked this up off of Craigslist today for $50! Structurally perfect, not a ding, barely a scratch, just dirty. 58cm Kona Paddy Wagon.

I think that was my bike same size and everything I sold it two years ago and it was in mint shape. the guy lived in bend.

[Steven_Anderson]

what is the sticker on the top tube?

[e30_kid]

^^plans? I like the name, it made me laugh.

[Jand3rson]

The one by the seat tube? It says "58cm".

It will be a fixed gear build, but not for tricks and barspins yoh. Urban riding and going fast.

I just used it to ride to school. the top tube has way to much drop for me its so sloped. thats why I sold it.

why did you choose that frame, besides the cost?

[Jand3rson]

Saw it on Craigslist, and after noticing the price, I went online and checked it out. Good tubing, fairly lightweight, and good construction. Lots of positive reviews, and at the time, this frameset (with the fork) was going for like $200-250. This frame is in near perfect condition, it's the right size, so I had to jump on it for that price.

I see those paddywagons often where i live. not one of them is set up with a fixed gear cog though, they are all singlespeeds with f/r brakes. My neighbor has one actually. the geometry looks like that of a comfortable commuter bike. Not bad for $50 though.

anyone got a recommendation for a messenger bag?
