would that be kilometers?

again, i was kidding.

so, how far have you ridden if you have?

Well ok, wheels don't have aero spokes, so that's -1, tires aren't Pro Race 2s, but that's ok, most bikes don't come with those. Frame appears to be aluminum with carbon fork, so that's good. You do have sora shifters, and I'm assuming front and rear der, that's -2.

So I'd give it 6 out of 10.

I don't know man, 500 euros for a bike? When I bought my Motobecane Vent Noir I paid 700 U.S. dollars. Since it was two or three years ago I guess it's someone equivalent. But, I don't like those shimano lineup, the sora, it's the cheapest.

You should check and see what kind of chain construction you have, if old style, upgrade to SRAM right away, less stress on rear der and more power to the wheels per stroke. Tires matter a lot, Pro Race 2 is the way to go, I use them on the street, just watch where you ride. I'd get brooks saddle right away to safe your you know what. Other than that, you will have problem with wheels, since it's not airo spokes, more effort over the same distance.

You really don't understand anything aero, do you? Hmmmm, no you don't. And what, pray tell, is old style chain construction. Is that done with wrought iron?

You should stop with your harassment sir and read a guide or two. Start with chains. Chain Maintenance You should learn about construction of old and new chains, and their affect on shifting, power transfer, etc.

Furthermore, your argument in the other post about natural being inferior to non-natural is the definition of what stupid is. Here is a suggestion, drink a quart of motor oil. Also, you should not go from post to post harassing me, I don't like that. Ok, you lost an argument, deal with it like a man. Can you?
