Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottle and bottle cage Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves Customer Reviews Taste in style Date: 2009-10-09 | Rating: 5 I'm surprised with two previous reviews? It sounds like their hands are growing not from the right place. My bike came on time as it was expected. And of course it was in the box. So, I had to set up steering wheel, pedals, and front wheel. I used for it simple Bicycle Tool (Topeak Alien II 26-Function) and the process was really easy. Than, logically, I precised breaks and shifts. Softened the spin and bike was ready. It runs very well. I maid on it 55m/hp and climbed all highest hills in SF. I truly don't believe that some parts could be broken. All parts are made by well-known German brands except aluminum Chinese frame, which actually is also good. So this is a good choice for those how has a taste in style. Damaged During Shipping. . . Date: 2009-09-14 | Rating: 3 I bought this bike for my younger brother for his birthday. It came in a timely fashion, yes, but it came broken. My brother had to spend something like 150 dollars to fix several things on it, and that is besides the money he had to spend to have it put together. Needless to say, I was not impressed. However, when I offered to call Amazon and try and get some kind of refund for the damages, my brother said that he loves the bike, and he didn't want to have to send it back to prove the damage. So, we didn't do anything about. Therefore, I can't say they didn't help us. We didn't seek their help. I wouldn't recommend doing that! When you spend this much money on a bike (for me this is a lot of money for a bike!), it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to make further adjustments. And besides that, he couldn't ride it when it was built, since there were pieces that had to be ordered. A total pain in the ass, basically. It sort of ruined the whole birthday present, since he had to pay for his own gift! Still, my brother absolutely loves the bike. He rides it every day. It looks good, but please, PLEASE, if it comes damaged, try and get someone from the company to pay for the damage. It's just not right to let that go. Hope everyone has better luck than we did! It is a good bike when everything on it is working. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy it. Just saying you should do something if your bike has the damage ours did. Don't buy this unless you want to replace everything. Date: 2009-08-13 | Rating: 2 I bought this bike, I put it together, and it looked great. Unfortunately, it's good looks could not mask the fact that it had many problems. It's front forks were not straight, the brakes barely worked and the freewheel broke on the first ride. The seat broke after landing from a very small drop.The derailer hook snapped while riding down hill sending me over the handle bars.I have put alot of money into this bike and have had to customize it my way, which was not my intention or in my budget. I felt like i was ripped off for almost $500. This bike does turn heads and has SOME really nice elements. I feel this company needs to do an overview on how they put these bikes together because they have lost me as a customer. I will never buy another bike from them, but I do hope they can do something better for others in the future. So to the people who want this bike, please take it to bike shop when you get it to see if you are getting what you paid for. Then at least you can return it if yours is as busted as mine was. Maybe i was just unlucky. I hpoe that these eye catching bikes are not all as much of a disaster as mine was. Truth is Lamborghini doesn't make bikes! Date: 2009-12-26 | Rating: 1 The truth is Lamborghini does not make bicycles they make cars. The company who really made this bicycle is Pacific Cycles. For over 10 years now Pacific Cycles has been tricking the public into buying budget low quality bicycles. They have bought well known companies such as Schwinn, GT, and Mongoose. Pacific Cycles is simply tricking people into buying their bicycles because of the name on the down tube of the bicycle. People think oh Mongoose I know Mongoose they use to make great BMX bicycles back when I was a kid. Oh wow Lamborghini makes a bicycle? If it's made by Lamborghini it has to be some exotic high performance bicycle right? WRONG! Pacific Cycles has tricked you. Ever heard the saying... "You get what you pay for"? It's true and if you expect to get a quality bike with full suspension you should expect to pay a minimum of $1500. These bikes retail in the $300 - $500 range because they are garbage. Here is how Union Pacific cuts the costs. First the bikes are made with high tensile steel. Of course they advertise it like high tensile steel is a good thing. You really want a bike made from Aluminum or Chromoly. If you get a bike made from steel and the metal is good quality it will generally advertise who made the tubes. Look for a sticker saying Reynolds, Colombus, Tange Prestige, or OX. High Tensile steel is the worst metal used to make bike frames because it is soft,heavy, and has an early failure rate. Now you may have noticed some brand name like Shimano on this bike, however these are bottom of the line shimano componets that are not suitable for off road use. The build quality on these bikes are absolutley horrific. The guys who build these bikes are paid per bike built and these bikes do not undergo a quality control test after being built. So the people who assemble these bikes do so as quickly as possible to make the most amount of money in a given day. This will lead to a bike that will need adjustments from day one and will rack up a nice little bill at the local bike mechanics. Honestly it's not safe to ride these bikes because they have not been assembled correctly. In short......... save your money and buy a better bike. Your first emergency room bill will be more than you spent on this bike. This is a bike that is designed to look flashy and uses name brands to sucker those who do not know much about bikes into buying this bike. As a general rule of thumb.......... you should only buy a bike from a shop that sells nothing but bikes. If you follow this rule, you will probably buy a decent bike.
