    Sorry I didnt mean to come off as abrasive towards you. If someone is giving you shit about the cost of you’re bike then tell them to fuck off. I’ve been cycling and competing for 7 years now, and cycling culture is about the ride, not the bike the rider is on. Some bikes cost $15k, others $1k, and all these expensive components can help you get faster, but at the end of the day, what really makes you faster isn’t the bike, it’s the rider.

            $1k for this bike is a steal lol. These are hand made in Germany and look 99% better than most commuters I see. The steel is real king! Keep riding

              Yes my previous bike (also steel VSF) got stolen, so I was looking for the exact same one. Made sense to buy it new (with new parts) and I got a good deal on it.

      This really makes me want to show up to a cycling event with a $200 Huffy
