I got pic related recently. $2600 new, paid $500 used in perfect condition.
>>1845750 is right, all brands have a range of quality, but I’d add that even the cheapest bike from a known brand will be ok. What you get depends on how you use it. Anywhere I ride locally in flat, so I got a fixed wheel track bike (I’m not a hipster, I used to race) and put a set of shimano pedals on, flats one side, SPD the other, so I can ride with regular shoes if I want.
Going to throw some flat bars on, and at some point get another set of forks with a brake mount and get a new front wheel with disc brake. Also repaint.
The plain black rims looked pretty shit, so I got some Campagnolo stickers off Ali to make them look a bit better. (Now they’re 15% lighter and 30% more aero. Fact.)
It’s a really fun bike though, light as.
