Help me out

[bigpiney]

What is the big difference , between an 8, 9 or 10 speed? I am really new to all of this, so just trying to sort things out.

Variation and fine tuning.

I like ten speeds, not eight speeds, but I'm certain lance could whip my butt on a tricycle.

You are such an elitist

you are cracking me up arch. but you aren't paying attention. I have been sans road bike for two months now. I am fat and out of shape. I am almost gasp an average rider. besides if you think I'm pulling your flabby old butts for a hundred miles you need to put down the crack pipe:-)

www.bikeforums.net has frequent discussions re: Bikesdirect. The consensus is that it's generally good service and worth the price, but the reminder that it's not the Motobecane of the 70s or whatever. They also sell under a different name on eBay. I don't remember the name, but it's pretty obvious as they're all taken in front of a dresser. They have some other bikes with similar good prices.

I guess the business model is to buy the marks of defunct brands and bring that back to life in name.
