so what would you do....buy the cheaper bike with same frame but not as high quality parts, or spend the money and have the better parts that will probally last longer? like i said, im a rookie at this, so let me know what you think.

i tried the globe roll 1. white tires get dirty. the matte black is nicely done, but i prefer gloss. the headbadge is nice too. brakes are not top rate, but work fine. Easy skidder too.

OP if you are not troll then there are many other options, like the notorious Kilo TT from bikesdirect.com
You might want to do a little more research before buying.
Do you plan on upgrading or are you going to stick with a solid ride?
Simple solution: Visit your LBS and RIDE BIKES before buying? Who would've ever thought of that?
