A Guide on Buying Road Bikes
How do you know how much you should spend on a new road bike? With so many prices to compare, can you make good decisions? Furthermore, different specifications are altogether making the process of choosing a racing bike even more difficult.
It all depends on your needs. As everyone will have a different lifestyle, quality and prices of bikes also vary.
For example, if you seldom cycle but still like cycling, then a low to mid range price is for you. How much is it? Typically, this will cost you $350 to $650. There is no need to go any more expensive than that. That is because you will be riding only a few times in a month, remember? There is not much difference when it comes to performance if compared to the higher end range bikes.
What if you are an enthusiastic cyclist who is serious about training? Then you need to get bikes that are priced between $700 and $1,300. You must notice that the performance is very near to the top-of-the-line racing bicycle models. What do you get when you pay more? You will notice that the shifting and braking mechanics are the cheaper version of the high end components. For the rest, basic designs and functions are almost the same.
If you compare a $700 to $1,300 racing bike with the expensive $3,000 one, there is not much difference at all. It can be said there is only 5 percent of changes when it comes to performance. What is it so expensive then? Well, the answer is higher-quality components of the $3,000 bicycle will last much longer. That is all! OF course, there is more to the price tag. The $3,000 racing bike will also weigh less and you will feel that the frame has a nice riding feel. But, as a beginner, you should never invest this much of money. Why is this so? Because you will hardly notice the minute or small difference! You will also see that the finish, metal work, paint and details of the top-range model to be better in quality.
Note that bicycles above the $3,000 price range are for luxury purposes. They are much better off for serious, cyclists who compete in competitions where the extra edge is often needed. The advantage of being a professional cyclist is that there is a sponsor that will back you up. The question is, do you cycle thousands of miles like they do? Conclusion is you do not need to splurge when it comes to buying a racing bike.
