you should know but definitely not carbon frame. you can't afford it. neither can I. Can you lift the bike with just one arm (your hand on area where I put a red circle on pix)

my bike = can lift it with one arm easily.
 
Well, quit arguing about the perfect bike. :roll:

A heavy bike will build your leg muscles and make you stronger going up hills. A lighter and stronger bike is good for going downhill and jumping over terrians, etc.

Yeah, excatly, I don't care for a perfect bike. My previous one was destroyed by my brother a few years back.

no. heavy improper bike leads to injury and torn ligament.

my brother had a large angry fit, and threw the bike over a small cliff looking at the front of the house and the bike was destroyed, and unrideable.

ach mein gott!!!! why aren't your parents taking it seriously to fix his anger management?
 
My home is on hill so harder to ride a bike around. :roll:

I prefer to run or walk as exercise instead of ride a bike to up to hill.

yeah, that is when he was 14 at the time, I was so pissed when he did that, and now he owes me a new bike and he never did. Maybe I could demand him to pay me back $200 for the brand new bike I just bought? :hmm:

re to the anger management - I don't know, maybe it is part of the teen overhual? He has been disagonised of something I can't remember which I read from a letter from a special doctor :shock:
