• This might not be popular, but I’d say more important questions to answer that would allow people to make more of a concrete idea at what you prefer in a bike would be, to a degree

    How tall are you?
    Where do you want to ride? Type of road or terrain.
    How flexible are you?
    How long do you want to ride for in a single day?
    How do you feel about wind noise?
    Do you like the power hit or to ride the revs?

    I surmise from your past/current car ownership and seeing your engine project come along that you tend to reside on the torque front. Use that to make decisions.

    I’d hazard a guess and say you’re old and versed enough to disregard lust for logic. Then again, I’ve read your whole fucking MTB thread, so what do I know.

    Also, black bikes are faster.

  • 100% wrong, black bikes are shit. Rare to see one that looks half-decent and it seems to encourage a lot of unpainted plastics.
    The louder the paint, the better the bike.
