Least bang for the buck
 
We're always looking for the best deals and most bang for the buck in bikes and components. But how about the worst deals and least value for money spent? Don't we need a thread for this as well?

So, I submit the following for your consideration and invite you to contribute something even worse.

Their "Triton" looks almost as bad, singlespeed commuter with generic components at the cost of an entry level road bike with generic components. Suuuuper lame.

SRAM Red.

^ Zing!

While we are at it, ceramic headset bearings are pretty much a rip off.

Much better than 650c aluminum

Is the Gritty that bad of a deal? It will probably sell for less than $400. I am sure the components are really generic, but it is still pretty reasonable for a starter. Just my opinion.

xkillemallx16 01-11-11 06:26 PM

yeah, the trek t1's were going @ 550 at cycle city, even though the retail was 750. trek pricing.

Squirrelli 01-11-11 06:27 PM
