a Commuter
from London, UKDate Reviewed: June 17, 2003
Strengths: Looks great, fantastic frame accelerates faster than anything else I have ever ridden.Weaknesses: Not cheap. Disks a wee bit squeaky / grabby.Bottom Line: I spent a fair bit of time trying to work out from online reviews (like this one) what would be the best commuting bike for me. I ended up choosing three bikes and after I rode them, the Bad Boy was the head and shoulders winner.
I hadn't been too sure about the skinny tyres, but I haven't hit a pothole yet that made them feel anything other than rock solid. Overall, the bike feels pretty bombproof, but very light with it.
Front fork does a good job of soaking up the aforementioned crappy London surfaces and the disk brakes are a revelation. Having said that they are a bit squeaky, but I haven't taken them off to have a look yet, so it could just be teething problems.
If I want to, I can overtake just about anyone else on my route to work, or I can just sit back and enjoy a smooth, easy ride.
Favorite Ride: This one :)
Price Paid:
$1249.00
Purchased At: Evans
Similar Products Used: Nothing quite like this bike
Bike Setup: As out of the box
