For what it's worth, being proud of how fast you can destroy a bike doesn't really mark you as a serious cyclist. Riding fast is fine, but most of us try NOT to break our toys.
DId it come to you that i am trying to say i am proud of riding my bike hard and or destroying it ?
all i mean is i need somthing sturdy for harder riding, bouncing off curbs hoping over train tracks .being a mtn biker for so long and now switching over to a hybrid has been quite the experience for me .
anyway, thanks for the tips .
Cheers T
