Increase your total budget $99 and get a complete bike.

Wow ! Free shipping too !

That's a sweet deal. This model doen't have the seat post issue like the leader 725? With these new companies it's difficult to choose because certain years have bad frames and others are fine. That's why asking you, I don't have the energy anymore to track down a good frame. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Oy. So tempted.

Do you realize that's Scrod's shop that is selling that bike ? There's no way on earth he'd be selling them if they had frame problems. Anyways, that frame doesn't have an integrated seatpost clamp, which was the cause of the problem on the 2015 model Leader 725.

If I didn't already own five alu/carbon track bikes I might jump on one of them as well.

TT hit the nail on the head.

It took awhile for my shop to start dealing with Aventon because from what I saw of their initial run of frames when they first hit the market, I wasn't impressed. From what we've been seeing regularly on a first-hand basis and and as their component choices on the new completes clearly show, Aventon's quality has greatly improved over the past few years and my shop has a pretty strong relationship with them now. Aside from them being a big supporter of our local Velodrome and their team coach Sean Burke teaching classes there, they are cool to deal with, their product is good and they stand by it. Works for me.

Is that cause it ships from Aventons factory? Or is that just a really good deal.

I might ****ing buy one...

Aventon's warehouse is about two hours away from the shop and because we can't feasibly keep every size & color in stock at all times, some ship from us and whatever we don't have in stock at the time is drop shipped directly to the end customer from their facility.

Either way, it's an amazing deal. :)

Can we be friends again if I buy a fixie

Asking the real questions over here

this is killing me... breathe... will not buy another bike...

You could buy a dozen fixies, and Scrod still wouldn't give you the time of day. :lol:

You're not as funny as you think.

I think TT is a real hoot!

So is it safe to say the new aventon mataro complete is now the best bike for the $$ over the kilo tt pro?

sure....until they start cracking (cause its a cheap alum frame) and everyone jumps ship....!

:roflmao2:

Next someone will ask if Retrogression is the new BikesDirect.

What size Aventon Mataro should I buy?

celeste

Does anyone have experience with aero covers on fg wheels?

That would be up to whether or not someone wants a steel or aluminum bike. There is no universal "best" anything because everyone has different opinions, as they should.

Like most other smart mike companies, Aventon hasn't changed the design of the Mataro every two months and I've never seen one that has broken under normal use.
