BikesDirect Questions & Answers

Flat bar road bikes are built first for comfort and second for speed. If you want speed and more speed get a drop bar road bike that is aero. If you want speed and comfort and upright position, get a flat bar road bike with a lightweight build. Look for carbon forks and carbon frame like the Cafe Century series. If those are not in the budget, look for aluminum with carbon forks without disc brakes :) Hope this helps? Send an email to bd4salesteam@aol.com with links to the bikes you are considering and they can help you narrow it down. Don't wait too long, the #1 complaint we get is our bikes sell out fast:) Joe

Hi - the material of the frame is in the spec chart of each bike. Exact weights are not published since due to tolerance stacking of all the dozens of parts this can vary. Weight also varies according to size of bike. Please email bd4salesteam@aol.com with the link to the bike and they can help you asap :) thanks for your interest in Bikesdirect.com we save smart cyclists like you hundreds and thousands of dollars every day on new bikes.

In order to hold / reserve one, the full amount is billed. These are estimated to ship around the dates shown on the order page. Could vary a few days earlier or later.

Depends on your budget - we do have Aluminum Cruiser bikes with multiple gears that would be better for longer rides and lighter. Also look at the flat bar road bikes. Upright position and lightweight too :) http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/hybrid_bikes.htm

Thanks for your question - that is not a grease port. These have sealed cartridge bottom brackets. Very little maintenance needed. All geared bicycles have basically the same maintenance.
