I originally agreed with you OP; I prefer full suspension. You can always have the suspension beefed up or modified if it's inadequate or not what you expected. You can't do that with a hard tail(no rear frame suspension). Beautiful Bike! Wish I could afford one! But, then I realized your...

It should also be known that the USA does not have the political or financial leverage it once had with China, because they sold all their US government bonds to Japan after the 2008 collapse. If the orange one thinks he'll win a tariff war with china, he's sadly mistaken. Like I said, its a...

Both and Neither. Sorry, you're going to have to be more specific. I sense there is another question behind your first one-

To each their own, It is better to cycle than not. For those with perfectly functioning bodies, let your cycle freak flag fly! For those of us in worse shape, suspension isn't just an option, it's a necessity. The problem is for commuters, good suspension is expensive. It's actually quite...

No, because the tariffs won't just affect Chinese products. They are going to screw everyone. And since like it or not, Americans are the largest consumer group on the planet, what affects us will have a ripple affect across the globe.

Agreed.

Well, here is the good and the bad. The AP crunched the numbers and I'm happy to report, the young people under the age of 45 got out to vote, women got out to vote, non white people got out to vote and so too did white dudes for Harris. Even 3rd party voting was less than last election. So...

Even though it is the season to put fair weather bikes away here in Michigan, I'm buying as many components and batteries as I can before cheeto hitler comes to power. I don't know why some one can't sit that imbecile down and explain tariffs to him, but good lord yes to anyone waiting to pull...

Really just went looking for Moth Bars, which I found, and a bunch of dumb assery as well. Anyway, I have two sets of moth bars on the way, one for my 70's stationary and one for my e bike that will be powder coated black to match. I find the lack of suspension, both on ebikes and bicycles to be...

Thanks for sharing it's been helpful.

Keep it coming guys, bad or good, thanks for all the info. To give you an idea of what I'm going to build: Think this or this combined with this or this or possibly this:

Here is the thing, I have to put comfort before looks on my gas build, it won't be a bike, but a moped when I'm done with it. May look corny as hell to some, but if it stops wind, rain, gravel and bugs from hitting my face at 30 to 40 mph, yup, I'm putting one on. Ask any guy who rides a...

That first bike looks slick, don't know what you're talking about? I'm putting one of those tiny wind shields and hand guards on a new gas build.

Just for fun I tried mounting my step through a minute ago like a "male" bike. I got one leg almost high enough before my back said, "you really want to go there?" I said, "no sir!" and had a good laugh.

I love my ebike, but I'm poor and need something that will work in the rain. While I intend to commence on another gas build, pardon the heresy, I would like everyone to give me their opinions on fat tires vs standard. I'm probably going with 26" wheels, this will be a road only bike with front...

Living in the land of rednecks driving around with tiny plastic truck nuts, May I say emphatically, these are the only truck nuts anyone should see:

I have heard older fuds than me (not sure i'm allowed to call myself that, but I can only ride upright due to shoulder and spine surgeries) voice their regrets about getting a "male" bike so as to avoid ridicule. Not sure if it's just a marketing thing, but my bike is actually refereed to as a...

I'm too poor for a cam.

I would like to switch out the handlebars with Mothbars but they are sold out everywhere. If I can't find any for sale it will be the Wald's 3808. Both are about 30" wide or 762mm.

Too much of a good thing, but in my opinion anything that makes you more visible is a good idea.
