Hi, I’m Aaron Phillips from Expert Village and I know fuck all about anything I say.
@innerJAG No one can tell if your talking about the likes or dislikes.
expert village… you’ve expected expert advice? :lol…
expert village my ass, fucking bunch of clowns.
110 people are coach potatoes and “dopers”.
you said they have to keep the bikes weight below 14.8 pounds. I think you mean above.
WTF is alominium !!!
‘head down to your local bike shop and start talking road bikes with those guys’……wow, what a piece of advice!!
This guy is a total tit!!
was he trying to give advice or sell me a bike?
I’d like a get myself a road bike ! They’re so cool. Just a frame and wheels. The problem is I can’t decide what to have, what brand, what type, I do like the clean c look of classic bikes made around 1980, but is it the way to go for a first roadbike? There are newer bikes for the same amount of money – with better componants, brakes, wheels…unt so wieter. Do you have an advice for me, for my first roadbike? Am I getting too much attention to the looks, better go for the performance ?
expertvillage should be renamed retardvillage
This video should be renamed ‘Man describes a bike’
This sucks!

How to pick a Bicycle? Road bike tips and advice….mmmmm, wow! Should this not read “How to let someone waste 3mins 43 seconds of your life talking a load of tat!
“Go to a bike shop”, takes 2 seconds!
I don’t know what everyones problem is. Because he just gave the best answer ever. Just visit a store and ask those. Because you propably already knew you wanted to drive a road bike.
It might also help to ask someone on the internet and check (brand) of components and the (frame) material on your bike and see what fits your style the most.
Without any knowledge at first hand (drviing a scott sportster so knowing what racing might mean) I am awaiting a scott speedster (s10) to come.
“hey if you live on a sofa and only watch tv but wish you were lance armstrong then spend several grand on one of my bikes! you will be a tank in no time.”

If you’ve never ridden a road bike before, I’d suggest a triple chain ring if you live in a mountainous area. Unless you’re super strong you’ll end up straining your legs on the steep hills with a 50, 39 chainset. Also, get used to the feel and the balance. I’ve never ridden a proper road bike before.
