Hey guys

just found out about these forums and been looking an reading around. just had a question i need some help with.

I am about to go back being a nyc bike messenger, sold my bike a while back and currently looking for a new one, is there a bike you guys could recommend for my budget 200-300 range thats pretty light? i almost bought SE BIKES Draft but after looking on here sounded like a pos for that kind of work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you're going to be on your bike for 8+ hrs a day it seems worth it to spend more than that.

kilo tt frameset, tough components.

or wade ebay for a beat up, old italian track frame.

^What he said^

You could also do a dirty conversion

this is a really odd question for a veteran NYC messenger to ask.

Ah thanks guys looks like i'm going with the kilo tt



i wouldn't consider myself a vet just worked as a messenger for about 2 years. my current situation only allows for me to spend that much on a bike at the moment

Pista Concept. Easy to find, cheap, and after you upgrade the components you have a decent bike.

LOL.
