Hybrid Bicycles - Well I Bought a New Bike !

Well it is new to ME ! Looks like it never has been ridden..Guy said his Grandmother only
rode it to Church on Sunday a couple times..LOL..No for real he said he bought it to start
riding, and just never got into it, maybe 50 miles at best. And by the condition it is in, I
( Believe It ). Did not even have a scratch on it till I was unloading it at my house. :lol:
So I put the first one on it. It is EXACTLY as the link appears, 100 percent, have no videos or
pictures yet, but it is the same as the link. With some narrow tires, can I call it a Hybrid...
Weighed it on pretty good bathroom scales when I got home, 27 pounds even...Richard

Congrats! Nice looking bike.

Forgot to mention, Size medium and fits me perfect. Handle bars are even with seat when adjusted
properly, or maybe a tick higher, but I still feel pretty up right, just need a little narrow tires on it..

Congrats! Nice looking bike.

Thank You, I feel like a proud father ! LOL, love the Headshock...

Congrats! How's the ride?

Sweet! I'm glad you didn't get the Giant Roam. Because you already have a hybrid and you love to ride off-road, I was going to suggest a mountain bike!

With narrower, lightly treaded street tires, this one should be faster than your Schwinn Traveller on the paved roads, and with the stock tires much better on the trails and dirt roads.

Due to it's design, the Headshok does raise the front end up a bit more than a typical suspension fork, which maybe one reason the medium fits you.

When I was more into mountain biking, I remember noticing shorter Cannondale team riders like Tinker Jaurez and Alison Sydor would run negative rise stems to compensate for that extra front end height.

Nice bike! Enjoy!

Congrats! How's the ride?

It rides AWESOME ! First started playing around on the big hills, including my gravel drive..I love it !
Then went on a road ride just now, way faster than my Trailways, could not MAX out the gears on the
flats..LOL..They just keep coming. The seat is a bit tough, but man it was FAST, even looking at those
big MTB tires. Then flipped the Headshok over going down my drive, and was in Heaven, just like riding
a MTB...The X-7 shifts perfect, brakes are the best, I could not be more pleased...Want to add a few things,
but overall, best bike I HAVE ever Road..Richard : )
