When considering a road bike, one of the key factors is the right frame size. Bike sizing is often determined by the rider’s height and leg inseam, but there are many nuances to consider when choosing the right fit. A common concern for cyclists around 5’11” (180 cm) is whether a 54cm frame might be…

It’s all about the bike, baby. The ride. The speed. The freedom. But let’s be honest, when you’re a heavier rider, it’s about a lot more than just pedaling through the breeze and feeling like a Tour de France champ. It’s about keeping your bike intact and not listening to the crack of a frame…

You ever fall in love with a chunk of metal? I have. And I’ll tell you, steel isn’t just metal—it’s a damn good love story. My 1980s Japanese road frame? Rides like a dream. No cracks, no rust, just me and the open road. Could it last another 40 years? Hell, could it last forever?…

Riding a titanium bike frame is like the first time you wake up in a strange bed and realize you’re in the right place. It’s the strange comfort that kicks in when you least expect it. But it’s also weird, isn’t it? I’ve ridden aluminium, carbon, and steel bikes, each has its own quirks, but…

You’re broke. You want a bike. You don’t want some clunky Walmart trash, but you also don’t want to drop $1,500 on some carbon fiber flex machine. Enter vintage road bike frames—the poor man’s way into cycling, the gateway drug for bike nerds, the two-wheeled equivalent of finding a leather jacket at a thrift store.…

You ever notice how bicycles keep changing? Like a desperate ex trying to reinvent themselves—new haircut, new hobbies, new frame geometry. And somewhere along the way, someone decided that seatstays—the little sticks that connect the seat tube to the rear wheel—needed to be dropped lower. Not at the top, where they always were, but further…

Once upon a time, a bunch of bike engineers at GT got restless. They stared at the standard double triangle frame and thought, “This can be better. This can be stiffer. This can be ours.” So they added an extra triangle, slapped some marketing on it, and called it the “Triple Triangle.” For a while,…

You ever ride a bike so stiff it rattled your bones? Like a jackhammer on two wheels? Or maybe one so soft it felt like pedaling through molasses? That’s the battle. Stiffness vs. compliance. Speed vs. comfort. Bike companies won’t call a frame “bendy” because that sounds weak. Instead, they use words like “compliant.” A…

Some bikes have straight top tubes. Others slope downward like a beaten dog’s back. There’s a whole bunch of variation in between. You’ve probably stared at them in the shop, unsure if the shape affects your ride or if it’s all just some kind of cruel marketing joke. Well, here’s the deal. We’re going to…
