Over the weekend, I tried out FF RoadRunner Pro V and then btwin Original5 (used with very few km). Felt bit more comfortable with the Original5, though it had wider tires which I feel will be a drag on the concrete/tarmac where I ride. Any other options in the under 20k hybrid variety please?

The other options you have for 20k is Schwinn Sporterra. I am not sure if this is still available, but I had seen this at TBA. | |

Thai components and Indian assembled. 'Used to have one of these before the 2012 Montra. Not excellent per se, just about adequate to get the job done. Quality is somewhat lacking. I mean, rusting in 2 years isn't a good sign, is it? | |

| ![]() This is a great thread for those whose interests go beyond gasoline powered into the pedal powered zone as well. I am also looking to buy my first bike (as an adult). Let's see what I end up with. Current shortlist includes hybrid bikes from Marin, Cannondale Quick 5, Fuji Absolute, Orbea Ellorio. Will follow this thread keenly.

| ![]() Technically, that is not 0HP ![]() You have to exert power to move your weight and the bicycle. An average rider could generate an average power anywhere from 80W to 130W (Pros could generate 300W+). That would be 0.1 to 0.17hp. Happy mile munching! |

| ![]() ^^^ Technically machine is 0HP. You are calculating the rider's power, not machines. It is like saying a stone has 1BHP because it can be run at that power (when tied to a horse ![]() |

| ![]() Hi all, After the dream of being fit became a necessity, I am thinking of starting cycling. I am currently looking into a low budget, easy maintenance bike(15-20k). I have my eyes on Pure fix, Firefox flipflop and LA-Sovereign Cheetah (guess I am mostly into single speeds and fixies for their no-non sense features). Can someone give me some info on these bikes? I am open to other suggestions also (no MTBs please). I am currently based out of Blore. PS: I checked out Pure fix in BOTS. liked it. want to check out other bikes in the same category before I take up the plunge. Mods: please move the above query to appropriate thread if necessary. |

BOTS retails it for about sub 25k. I believe the Pune store only retails Specialized brand so you'll have to buy it from their Bangalore store. I think they should be able to deliver it packed to other cities as well so Delhi or Mumbai should be possible. | ||
