My buddy is wanting to get a new bike and is talking to be about it, showing me stuff. I'm like cool but it looks the same as your old one, why not get a different type? He's trying to tell me how completely different they are, and gave me these two images as an example. I see the exact same bike, except one is using fancier equipment. His current one isn't as fancy as the one on the left by the way. Looks much more basic like the bottom one, just a bit more "sporty".
>same shape
>same thin tires
>same type of handle
>same seating position
He's spewing buzzwords like "crankset, frame material, BCD ratio". No idea what any of that means, but to me it's the same type of bike, with one just being more expensive. Some explain where I'm wrong.
