Bicycle Frame Question
Posted on 1/7/15 at 9:01 am
Posted on 1/7/15 at 9:01 am
I'm looking to buy a couple cheap bikes. Are High-Tensile frames really junk ?
I'm am only going to be using these bikes to get around New Orleans. Mostly bar hopping short distances but every now and again going from Touro to Frenchman. I won't be using the bike to get to work or anything like that. I'm looking to go cheap because I want to be able to lock it up in random places and leave it there over night or days if needed. If it gets stolen I only want to be out a couple $100.
Also I'm buying them off of amazon since I have a gift card. Any recommendations. I'm looking at cruisers and urban commuters. Not interested in gears.

Buy some Trek Antelope frames and make fixies out of them.

Once again you have the most awful advice.

Get the critical cycles urban road bike on amazon.
Will be more solid than a road bike for those pot holes and that culture. Has a flip flop hub so you can make it a single speed and not a horrible fixie.

You think the Critical Cycles bike is the better than 6KU? I'm looking at bikes for the same purpose as Wise.

I was joking, but people do some funny stuff with them.

Thanks Ham. That's what I have been looking at actually. Will probably order one of the cruiser too. That way I can either be a hipster or hippe depending on my mood.

Probably the same quality. I pointed that one out to wise because he said amazon.
Just make sure it's not a traditional road bike. My cycling buddy just moved to Nola recently and he can't even ride his road bike around the city because it's so rough. Bought a cruiser for the city. Not to mention he would be a fool to ride a $4,000 bike around the city.
He's out of control though. He has 4 bikes now.

The fixie fad is just so stupid. I had a high end single speed for years but would never owns fixie. It's just pointless

Oh yeah Ham thanks for the bike too. I negotiated a split pot with Zealot in the Foodie FF League before ODB and friends destroyed me in the ship. The leaguesafe site the money was on transfers it to an Amazon card at no charge.

I saw the pay outs. I think you could have negotiated for more.
Check out reviews on those bikes. It's seems the cruiser is absolute shite. It's all about the rims. If those warp it's done.

Ok, any cruiser recommendations ?
Dude I had to stream a QB, RB, and WR in that game.

Get an abus bordo folding lock, also sold on amazon. I haven't had a bike stolen since I started using them. They're expensive, but less expensive than buying a new bike. And you can lock them to more things and in more configurations than a ulock. They're also easier to carry.

Sixthreezero mens in the barrel beach cruiser
That thing looks great. Really good reviews. They have three gears or single speed. Save a few bucks and get the SS.
Hell, if I were you this would be the only bike I'd buy. Your more hippie than hipster anyway brah.

Get that cruiser and a kryptonite lock and you'll be set

You're going to pull so much leg on a bicycle.

You can't go wrong with a Huffy IMO.

Why don't you just Uber instead?
