My name is Karen. I'm not an expert when it comes to bikes but I may be able to answer majority of your questions. Bikes are a great way to get around nowadays. It helps the environment and it also helps you. I'm almost 18 years old and my interest in bikes began to evolve in December of 2014. So far I've had two bikes and I'm working on my third bike. I prefer bikes that are lighter simply because it would be easier to carry if i need to. Speed isn't really a factor when it comes to choosing my bike. I believe that if it gets me to where I need to be than its job was done. I've had black and red SKU size 52 but it was way too big for me. Then I purchased a steel bike from MSC also known as Mott Street Cycles. The MSC bike was a size 49 with a purple frame, green grips, and a sky blue front wheel with green chains. I like that one a lot but it was heavy. My next bike that I'm trying to get would be the Bianchi Nirone 7 Dama. It's a road bike about the same weight as the MSC but I'm thinking of changing some parts to make it lighter. Hopefully it'll all work out smoothly. ENJOY YOUR DAY!
