Motobecane?

[basebklyn1]

This bike looks like such a good deal because basically you are paying for just the parts. The frame probably cost a fraction of a cent to make. My guess is you will feel this lack of quality in the frame when you ride, so its up to you. Good ride quality or good parts. You won't get both with this bike. My suggestion is support your local bike shop, buy a Hoo Koo E Koo, and slowly upgrade the parts if you are unhappy with them to help you appreciate the difference they make in your ride. Don't expect a fun time dealing with any sort of warranty issue that might arise with the Motobecane either.

I know of a particular rider in this club that would tear pretty much everybody apart on his motobecane...and he's done it for years. It's not the bike, it's the rider. ;)
