  • Road bikes also get the same comments. I have a hybrid/trekking bike so I can annoy both sides. But realistically I use my bike to get to places along paths in the UK, I don’t need to do jumps but I do need something that can manage shit road surfaces, dirt and gravel. Even light mud is fine with 700x37 tyres. I could use wider tyres for winter if I really wanted to use some of the muddier paths but there isn’t much need to.


  • Seen enough of people looking down on anything below a few thousand. Oh no my bike weighs a kg extra. So what, I can still cycle along the same coastal path as you at a slightly lower speed. I don’t care how long it takes.

    More variable but some cheaper bikes are more durable too, usually when the expensive one is as light as possible it is sacrificing durability to do it. But that does depend on what is being called cheaper too, as it seems like £80-800 is all considered cheap to these people.

    If you already have a PC you probably have no real reason to get one as you can already upgrade your existing PC for less (or more power) by reusing some parts. I suspect this is more for people that are looking to get into PC gaming or are currently using laptops.

    Also, its just a PC. Loads of companies make PCs. I worked in one before, we had a staff count of 2 and the PC building was part time. Obviously valve have greater R&D funds than we did so they can afford to make their own custom form factor.
