I just boutgh the motobecane immortal force and Im wondering how it is, if you bought another motobecane online Im also currious how it its plus which one you got. I would really appreciate it


Answer
I didn't but two friends of mine bought Motos. A Fly Pro and a Le Champion. Both are extremely happy with their bikes. I got to take both for a spin and thought they were very good bikes and spec'ed better than any bike for the price.

The Le champion was one size too big for me but still felt good and had very similar characteristics to my Cannondale which I love. Stiff frame and tracked true. The AC 420 wheels are great. The 10 Ultergra shifted better than my 9 speed. It came with Kenda tires, they do the job but aren't my favorite tire. The Fly Pro has an awesome flat black paint job. Came with super light Kenda's with small knobs, not good for muddy or very loose conditions but fast. Both these bikes are crazy light as well. If I didn't have my bikes I'd buy both.

What would be a good bicycle for fast street riding or freeriding?

Max price at around $600 please. Height 5'11" ish, 170 lbs skinny if those make any significant difference. Thanks :D


Answer
I am not up on free riding, so I may not be right on the mark. I am not to sure based on your question that you would ride on the street more than free riding. Which leads me to Specialized Crosstail consider the comments below on the type of riding, does this match what you are looking for in a bike?

This bike can do it all.

"I bought this bike after a trip to my local bike shop. I told them I was looking for something good for all around but nothing race oriented that would be good to get back into biking and get me out for some exercise.


So far this bike has made me want to get out and bike more. I've done anywhere from 5 to 45 miles per outing and have been on pavement, dirt and gravel, cinder paths and all out mud and muck. I'm just starting out but can easily spin the bike 15-18mph up moderate hills and it felt solid on a 38+ mph descent down the back half of a rather steep hill climb.


The last ride that sold me was a 40 mile trip around a lake in the thousand islands that was 30 miles on-road and then 10 miles of absolutely, what was I thinking off-roading. This thing pulled me through some good 8-10" of standing water and was still decent enough at pulling me up over some decent sized rock inclines with wet and muddy tires (semi-slick) tires.


The stock seat was good for me until about 20 miles round trips and then I swapped out for something a bit more comfortable.


As my legs feel stronger and my distances increase I am wondering if I could also use a road bike but I wouldn't get rid of this one either way."
