OK guys, how's this one for first time commuter bike?

Blimmeny cricket. We've got the forum version of all the flouro-nodders jumping in at the mo'.

My 2p:

New potential forumengers:
a) lurk for a bit, get to understand the tone of the forum
b) search a bit
c) don't kick off on one if someone takes the piss

Specifically for TheWatchMan:
a) go to evans to get advice on sizing
b) buy yourself a hybrid, as in your OP
c) see if it suits you & you get into riding / looking after it / lusting after other bikes
d) come back when you've done this

This a forum for folk into fixed & ss bikes. it's a bit niche. LightenTFU.

I think you have to ask, who would you rather be:

Dandy Livingstone, or Pluto Shervington?

it's a difficult choice, and not one to make lightly.

im 6 1.

i understand that some people don't like heated arguments, but others do. i'm not in love with them or anything, but they can be good for venting anger.

venting anger isn't necessairly a bad tthing.

anywho, thanks to anyone that's helping me here, if i knew something i would advise you.

poke ror trading, holler at me and i'll hook you up!

My 2p:

Venting anger is ok, on a forum it is stupid.

I hate hybrids, I find them fucking uncomfortable to ride, and incredibly dull, lifeless and heavy. Not only that, but also, every single person I know who has a hybrid has either had theirs nicked, or something has gone wrong, or they've stopped riding into work because of the bike being 'too slow' or 'too heavy' or '[generic lame reason]'. For a commute, buy a road bike or go fixed.

Finally, on a forum specialising in fixed-fascism, asking about a hybrid wasn't going to go down brilliantly, though some people here may have one.

Disclaimer: I have never owned a hybrid, just ridden friends. I love riding fixed, and think it is the best way of getting around town.

Btw, I'm with Julio+ VB, can we please have less of this unnecessary, argumentative and aggressive shit. It is fucking depressing and sad.

Edit: If you want to get a good Hybrid, the only one I've heard anything good about is Orbea.

My 2p:

Venting anger is ok, forum is stupid.

I hate every single person I know on a forum specialising in fixed-fascism.

Disclaimer: I have a hybrid, and it is the best.

Btw, I'm with this argumentative and aggressive shit. It is good.

You are such a hater.

hee hee....
cunt cheese.

I will come round your place and batter the living cod out of you.

I CAN'T believe how you've changed what I said. It's like everyone is ganging up on me.
Stupid fucking mob tactics.

Yeah, setting up this forum to steal our souls and flogging t-shirts to scam our paypal accounts, unbelievable.

if idiots like you would spend as much time as you do writing complete and utter BOLLOCKS, as they did helping people out, the world would be a better place.

unfortuantely it's filled with worthless sacks of useless shit such as yourself.

ride your bike off a cliff you dumb fuck.

Dammit I missed it all

+1 for ASSCLOWN tho

Shit, what happened? Look at me getting too possessive. I'm such a rearliontamer.

I guess I'm a sensitive little flower.

absolutely pissing myself laughing, hahah another comment makes my brain bleed. :D:D:D

You're a trader? You can have the Cuntster for £1000. It's already parked next to Liverpool St. I'll even let you have the locks!

See you at International Cheese shop in 10mins..

oh dear this forum is just one big comedy sketch

Send in the assclowns...

This is too gender specific....

Edit: I can't think of anything but all clowns as fat sweaty guys without the dangly bits now, Thanks!

Spread the love,

The Globe is a fine commuting bike but you are kind of asking on the wrong forum. There is a commuting section on BikeRadar so maybe try there for suggestions.
Go to Evans/Cycle surgery near Liverpool st and try something out, you never know, maybe after all this you'll end up with pashley princess. god knows! (He does as well, though obviously god only rides fixed.)

Then Buy it from somewhere else if you don't like the price.
