Ah it's grand. It's a good, solid metal bike. None of that carbon, lightweight pretend material for me! I'll be getting a bike shop to look it over for sure though.

These are things you need to do soon.
Any serious knock to even a metal bike can damage the frame to the point of it being a write-off.
And once this lady has gotten over the shock of hitting you, she won't be thrilled to be told two weeks later that she has to buy you a new 600 euro bike.

I realise that you probably know all this already, just sharing my experience.

I've been hit by a cab and thought it was just my wheel, only to be told later that the frame was slightly bent and unfixable.

I got the bike home yesterday and won't be cycling again until it's been to a bicycle shop, tomorrow. I'LL BE GRAND GUYZ.

We're a helicopter board.

It's just how we do.

Who knows about bikes? I think I want the one below but havent a notion about what's good when it comes to parts. Disc brakes at that price suggests the parts may not be of great quality...

I don't know a whole lot, but I had Shimano disc brakes before and they were the goddamn balls

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

I'm hoping that's a good thing.

Shimano are the top dog at cheap disc brakes.

whats the issue? My hybrid cost around that, complete with disc brakes (mine aren't hydraulic), and its solid as a rock. 5 years on and I've replaced the each of the brake discs a couple of times, but thats normal enough for the use I get from it.

Google some reviews and see what the consensus is. Its the Orbea website though. They're an excellent spanish brand of bike so they're not gonna be pedalling (see what I did there) any old shite.

Cheers dudes.
No issues, just been so long since I bought a bike that last time I checked disc brakes only came on top of the range bikes or else bargain basement specials that would fall apart within six months. Gonna go take a spin on one then get onto that bike to work thing-a-ma-jig if I like it.

Iarnród Éireann to get tough on bikes carried on commuter trains

This morning I was quite pleased with myself whizzing past an older guy on the track by the canal. After a while I found I was knackered so slowed down a bit only for him to calmly pass me by again, not a bother on him while I'm having an asthma and a heart attack and possibly a stroke.. I just can't get the hang of these gears.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Remember the tale of the tortoise and the hare?

 

[therealjohnny]

Exactly what crossed my mind as he sailed past me. Bet he was laughing at me too

Forget the gears or just use two. Hard and easy. Decide which is which.
The gears you need are inside you, Johnny.

Gardaí use ‘bait bikes’ to tackle bicycle theft in Dublin

Insp Liam Geraghty of Pearse Street Garda station said that under the plan a stolen bike can be tracked and the person in possession of it could be found, identified and arrested.

“But it’s more to develop intelligence as to where stolen bikes go,” he said.

Always good to give organised crime a heads up in these matters.

Fit a new set of front forks and headset. Made all the specialist tools for race removal and fitting from following youtube vids. Delighted with the outcome.
