[@richiejames928]

Venge is still the best looking bike ever.

[@MattRogersdesigns]

Those old wheels are 27”. It was an odd size and I had trouble getting tires even 20 years ago. However the ones that I could find were 1-1/4” knobby tires which are quite similar to gravel ties now. So they were far ahead of their time. But it also means that a lot of those frames are kinda junk today as the brakes are set up for those wheels and it’s hard to even fit a new 700c set of wheels.

[@kgramckow]

Yeah I’ve had a couple old 27” wheel frames. Surprisingly I could still buy new 27 tires last year (somewhat terrible hard “commuter” 27/1.25) but yeah that was probably very old stock. Most of them seem to work with 700c tires if you buy long reach brakes, and I had to drill out the brake mounting points to fit the recessed nut type brakes. After spreading the rear triangle from 126mm to 130 you can put new drivetrain stuff on it. Voila, dirt cheap road/urban/lock it up in a city bike.

[@johnnunn8688]

It’s a fixy, no need for brakes 🤷‍♂️.

A good bike is one that makes you feel like you want to go for a ride because you're confident that it will reliably get you to where you want to go safely and in relative comfort. I see a lot of cheaper bikes that seem to fill these requirements even though they might lack many of the questionable features that are being marketed on top end bikes.

[@MRHAPPY3210]

I’ve got Carrera Crossfire 1 that I bought for £250 in 2016 (since then it’s had a new gearset, wheels, and brakes). I recently did a 3 day loop of London to Bristol - circa 280 miles. The suspension is heavy and pointless like they mentioned, and the flat handle bars suck after about 70k but I’m happy that bike got a run around and even if now I’m looking to replace it with a gravel bike. I could never get rid of it

Sick of the "pink it and shrink it" approach to marketing bikes to women. One of the most popular bikes I sold where I work were the large and XL metallic pale pink Kona Unit MTB / offroad touring bikes to very tall men, and also how many masc people LOVE the metallic lilac Surly Midnight Special.

[@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381]

18:10 I partially agree with that, on more sportive bikes like road bikes/Gravel/Cyclocross, mountain bikes in most iterations where almost all have a diamond frame (except some fancy fullies) you don't really need these gender-specific stuff make these unisex with a wide selection of colours, however on the more "casual" bike styles like city bikes, trekking etc. they often have diamond frames and step-through frames (trapezoid with the top tube lower where it meets the seat tube already at approximately half the height where a diamond frame would or mixte frame with two thin top tubes) or even low-entry frames that only have one thick down tube without a top tube or these geometries like ISY bikes or foldable bikes have. Because these can be easily ridden wearing skirts and dresses, from my experience it's also possible to ride wearing these on diamond frames if they aren't longer than knee length and aren't too tight (like a pencil skirt), maybe have a back slit, but better don't try it with longer dresses/skirts and this is where step-through frames come in and this is also one distinction of most scooters (like the legendary Vespa) compared to larger motorcycles.

It prevents me from having to take off my seatpost everytime and ruining its saved position and alignment. Plus nicer to sit on a bike and warm up out of the parking lot when its slammed, luxury
