just a question. do they sell the nat, world, TDF kits? why? they ant you to wear them. Personally, i would only wear team, but that is not because the others are off limits, (teams look better) what is the different if people wear the soccer world cup winning teams stuff, nothing. Kits are a...

just chasing ideas for my kids bikes. one need upgrading to a 20 inch, and the little feller needs a 16/20 inch. was looking at specialized (personal taste) but is the extra money worth it, or just go the kmart special? just chasing other peoples ideas in what they got/ used.

i have just recieved my folding tyres, Schwalbe ultremo R, that were recommended by my bike shop (not in the area i live), what is people option of them? I live in a very hot area, (min 30's winter) upwards. so far they seem good. thanks

for me, I worked hard for many many years, and can afford to spend more then the average person. I got a carbon bike, again did i need it, most likly not, but I love it. why do people care so much what other people got? I am new to cycling, and people seem to worry about other people status...
