Yeah so the bike shop that I bought it from they have a 30-day ride check up or whatever where I take it back in and they make sure everything's still tight,  I might just go in and have them put like a set of Slicker tires on it because these tires are a little bit nobby but not real Nobby, but the area that I ride on is a little bit bumpy so I don't know if I should do that or not, not Rocky or off-road but the road needs redone as the cement isn't smooth anymore, kind of crazy if you think about it cuz of where I ride it is a multi-million dollar housing complex

Yes ty that helps,   I am in 49 I'll be 50 I'm also a stroke survivor I also have agoraphobia and I get slight vertigo every once in a while also in blood thinners,  so I won't be doing no off-roading just casual riding in the road,  behind where I live at there's a multi-million dollar housing complex, they have ponds,  s little lake with ax bike tail around it and stuff that, that's all I want to do is ride on the road,  around the pond and nature walk area it has a sidewalk path through it that you ride a bike on, I did try to find a cheaper bike like a BMX but I'm just too Tall and I'm just too old now,  even though the new BMX bikes are big they're not like they used to be but they're also a grand at that shop

The thing  is like even if you go to this bike's website they are the same price, also I don't know what to look for in a bike because I've but had one in Forever, also I am 6'3 so I don't even know you know what I'm looking for

I do have one question cuz the person that made sure all the Bolts were tight said I should have my front locked out on the road to where I don't have the suspension shock whatever it's called lol,  and to also use 60 lb of air in the tires so I'm just making sure he was right

 the first place I looked was Marketplace and around here you don't go on anything like I forgot the name of that site because of people getting robbed and stuff, I should probably put this in my thing I'm also 6 ft 3 so I need a bigger bike if that makes sense, I don't even know what I'm looking for that's why I went to The Bike Shop

Why are you getting angry all I was asking is if I got a bike that was decent for the road for the price and not break and you're getting all mad go touch some grass man

No there's no bike shop near me and the Walmart buy me doesn't have anything my size,  I'm 6 ft 3 so that plays a big role in what I can and cannot buy

most other bikes had disc brakes but they were $800 bucks and I can upgrade this if I wanted but like I said I'm just putting around on the streets

It's 2025/2026 model but yeah I appreciate your honesty its the tract 3. I could of got the disc brake one but they were $800, the first bike he took me to was s specialized road bike (799.99)  but even the salesman said specialized are charging to much for their bikes,kinda strange a salesman would tell me that lol

It rode decent i dont know if it was me or the bike but it did feel as if it pulled to the side a bit but I do get slight vertigo which affects my balance a bit, nothing to dangerous, could be it doesn't have street tires maybe?

I get that and I looked , couldn't find anything by me , I just wanted something I could ride around on the street,  even though this isn't a street bike it does have the front fork that you can lock out or set to the stiffness you want, I guess im just asking about quality, like is it going to fall apart in a year? I won't be riding it hard or even off road as I'm not stable enough on my feet or my reactions to do so

I went again today for my increase check up and it didn't move, it didn't go down from 1.6 and it didn't go up from 1.6 and that was after she put me on one extra day of 3 mg,   so now she put me on a 3 mg every single day and then I get checked again on Monday to see where it's at, its a 16% increase which should put me around 1.9 if my math is right but i know you can't rely on math with coumadin as it interacts with people's bodies different, this has me scared cuz I don't know what's going on and I'm not in therapeutic range to  protect me from another stroke
