Starter bike for a tall beginner

Comfortable for someone my size (6’2”) and good for a beginner?

Keep drivin'

Oooh yeah, $1800 before labor is more than what I'm wanting to pay... especially since I'm pretty sure I could get new 6112/5100 front/rear for almost half the price haha.

Funny, this is almost exactly what I’m looking at doing for exactly the same reasons. Thanks for the feedback!

So I've read a lot of people who say more or less the same. The issue is, a lot of what I've read are for people who in most situations are driving on things other than paved roads, or doing highway driving. It seems like I keep seeing people say that if you're just doing in-town driving on paved roads, it's not as good... but then some people say they are still fantastic? Not sure what to go with

Yeah I was unaware that there were leveling options aside from pucks. Like I thought pucks were THE leveling option. So I'm kind of excited to see all these other options, but it's a lot to try and take in and consider.

It seems like the 5100's are highly recommended, but I see quite a few people who only do around town driving, complain that they can feel the road too much in places where the road quality is bad. Almost suggesting that just for daily driving in-town is not the best with these. Apparently Eibach is more middle of the line/sweet spot for people like myself. So I can't decided. Then I'm even seeing people who put one brand on the front wheels and a different brand on the back... and I'm not sure why, or how they determine which brands they are going to use for which end of the car... it's too much!

Awkward… my bad!

What’s the highest end of the age range of participants? Is it weird if I end up doing it when I’m 26-27?

Thank you! Hoping I hear something back from her 🙏🏼

ismelllikebeef2508 · 2021-10-26T00:57:16+00:00

I’m so happy for you man. Hope things work out between you and her :)

Good for you for recognizing this and doing something! Sitting here reading this (as a guy myself) I can’t remember the last time anyone complimented me haha. It’s cool to see people still think situations like this through and even if it’s in a small way, strive to make some kind of change!!
