Argh I'm so jealous!!! This is why everyone hates you.

I got a bike recently. Its beat up and worn but I'm going to clean it, fix it up, repaint it.. its gonna kick ass.

Nice. I've been bike riding around lately so I don't turn into a lardass. I was was riding down a half steep slope (coming off the road onto a trail) and I hit the controls for the chain resistance. Needless to say to the steel tensiles popped and now the chain is loose and doesn't move right there. I think I need a new bike? How much does it coast for something of decent quality or above average?

Basically, the minimum you must be prepared to spend for a trail worthy bike is about 500 $. A bike above average means spending more than 1000$ (for comparison, my old bike cost about 2000$, and my new one costs 5000€).

Send $330 to my Paypal account and I'll ship you a $500 bike from my shop storage room. Assuming US dollars, decent quality starts at around $400, that'll get you a solid entry level bike. Average for me is defined as where the bike has all (Shimano) LX & XT parts, which is around the $1100 mark. Above average is when the bikes are full XT or better, which'll set you back about $1500 or so. Frivolous is when you run out of things to upgrade and start buying titanium & carbon fiber parts because you can, 2 of my bikes have hit the "frivolous" stage (I work in a bikeshop) and I really don't want to know what they're worth these days.

um.... aerius... do you have somekind of bike fetish?

No I don't have a bike fetish, I'm just really enthusiastic about bikes and the technology that goes into them. Also, I work in a bike shop so I get everything at store cost, which is why I can afford all the good stuff.

Once again, I do not have a bike fetish, I leave that to Colonel Olrik who polishes and fondles his bike.

hey, olrik, why does it say "genital" in your bike mag?

I think it actually says "Genial". Reckon it's portugese?
