I am interested in buying my first road bike?
and am willing to spend 3k tops, a full carbon fiber frame or titanium frame is not necessary, I am not into racing, a scandium or any other less exotic material interests me, I would like carbon fork and seatstays, I am in good shape at 49years, weigh about 185, is a metal frame a good thing? not into prestige or the high cost of exotics, rather put the money in components, seems like an 18lb or less frame would be good for my weight.
under $3000.00
mountain climbing is a requirement where I live and downhill stability would be good, have a need for speed on downhills, thanks for the answers everyone.
Check out Bicycling magazine June July Aug issues. They have some good recommendations to start with at all different price ranges. At your price range you can get a really great bike. Even at half the price. I would t g to a bike shop or two or three and test ride some bikes. You may not be able to tell the difference in rides between the different frame materials but will get an idea of how the bikes ride for you. Different frame geometries will affect the ride. What type of riding are you planning to do? Where do you plan to do most of your riding? Hills? Do you want a quick handling more for bike or a stable slower handling road bike? Just some questions to get the correct ride. Mikes Bikes, REI, Cyclesports, The Missing Link, to name a few in the area with good selections and knowledgeable people. Performance have some good deals but you need to know what you want. Also getting fitted properly and have the bike set up properly after purchase.
Quickie Gti Titanium Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair
As the title says it’s Titanium! The weight of the ultra light wheelchair is less than 19-lbs making it a high performance. Built with tough 1 1/8? titanium tubing, the GTi® responds like a sports car, struts like a model, and floats like a feather from the road to the front seat. It’s smart, it’s advanced, and it’s loaded with the most sought after features in today’s marketplace. In short, it is our top of the line performance chair.
Open-frame design
The Quickie GTi’s “L†shaped design with the mono-frame is perfect for transporting around. With the optional folding push-handles and the standard folding backrest combined with the “L†frame-shape makes the Quickie GTi frame easier to move across the driver’s seat than most non-folding and folding aluminum-frame chairs.
Front and Rear Optional-Suspension
The Quickie GTi titanium ultra light wheelchair features optional front Frog-Legs and rear Quickie custom suspension systems. These two systems can be purchased separately or in combination to provide the ultimate smooth ride. Add on the mountain-wheel option and 6? wide front caster-wheels and the chair is ready for an off-road adventure.
The Gti is available in 15 painted colors so if grey’s not your color thats not an issue and the axle plate and caster forks are available in 6 anodized colors. So there many options to make a stylish wheelchair.
The Quickie Gti now features Schwalbe tires, Kik tires, and Natural-Fit handrims. These options, along with our fabric, plastic, aluminum, and carbon fiber side guards keep your hands clean at all times.
The new GTi backrest has some additional features you wouldn’t expect from thai type of lightweight wheelchair . Along with 20° of angle adjustable, height adjustable, and a quick release folding mechanism, it also has a fold-down locking mechanism that secures the backrest in the down position during transfers.
Live in a rocky or bumpy area or like off road? No issue for this lightweight wheelchair as the Quickie GTi offers Froglegs front caster suspension, wide 6? caster wheels, rear axle elastomer suspension, and super knobby mountain wheels.
The Quickie GTi features different types of tension-adjustable backrest upholstery: standard, vented, and Jay Precision adjustment. If wicking away heat and moisture is most important, vented is an ideal choice.
Quickie ultra light wheelchair has been beefed up by having a tubing (1 1/8?), maximized the strut tube placement (sits below the user’s center-of-gravity), and eliminated all non-essential structure that results in an elegant ultra-lightweight wheelchair that turns on a dime and responds instantly to the slightest push.
The GTi’s “L†shaped frame design is perfect for moving in and out of the front seat. When you combine this with its low titanium weight and quick release wheels, loading becomes a pleasure not a chore.
We hope you enjoy the ultra light wheelchair made of titanium
