What's wrong with Motobecane?
 

There are some nice good deals on bikesdirect but everyone here seems to make fun of them, I don't really see why.. If someone could tell me that would be good. Thanks.

Try the search function?

It's no CAAD-9...

I couldn't find anything in search.

Oh boy.

Like always, you get what you pay for.

Uh.. they break?

Uh, BS?

No offense, but this has been covered to DEATH a zillion times already. Google it if you want as well - also covered a zillion times.

Normally I'm all for BF repeat questions, but Motobecane is like a firecracker topic, and may be left best to searching since these threads go on forever once they start.

lol. I love that picture and that blog about the frame that crapped out.

BD is a decent choice if you're looking to get into road cycling or you're on a really limited budget. However their...unappealing color schemes and cheap generic frames seem to attract a lot of flak. The names used on their bikes come from formerly famous bike manufactures that sold off their naming rights (when they presumably went belly up).

Oh.. Bikes direct is Motobecane? Fine, flame away for that.

The OP's question should have been how to use the search function........ Not being able to find something about Motobecane on the forums is just well................:notamused:

what's BD????

Bikes Direct aka bikesdirect.com

never heard of them...tell me more.

You can get really cheap excellent quality bikes there. A lot of racers actually use these bikes.

Cue Pcad's ti fly.

lol!

:trainwreck:

oh great, another bikesdirect thread. :popcorn: :beer:

I'll reserve my opinion until the day my BD bike breaks. Still waiting

That was brilliant. How did you get that to work...

To the OP, I love BD but OMG just search a little bit and you will find so much, and so much venom always comes out when BD gets mentioned.
