>no fenders
what a fucking joke, she doesn't deserve to wear that jersey

>fenders
What are you, some kind of faggot afraid of a little mud and water?
>>896537
having no fenders implies the rider never rides in bad conditions..
>>896540
That's me in the pic. Having "bad conditions" in your vocabulary implies that you are a filthy casual. Having fenders implies that you are afraid to get wet and therefore don't ride in rain, but just want to stay dry when riding through puddles after the storm is passed. I ride in all conditions. 100+ degrees, below 0, all day, all night, dry, raining, snowing, snow-covered unplowed streets, through shallow streams and flooded trails.
>>896545
why the fuck would you get wetter than you have to and throw mud all over your bicycle's components, your panniers and bottles?
I get that you're posturing because folks thought you were a lady but that's just fucking stupid
>>896546
Fenders are pointless during rain storms because they will only keep a fraction of the water and mud off. It will make minimal difference. After a rain storm I can avoid puddles if I feel like staying dry, and fenders won't do much to keep mud off my bike. And I don't care if mud splatters on my back, I can wash my jersey and take a shower when I get home.
>>896548
Explain how mud is going to get onto your components without being kicked up by the tire exactly? Sure your bike is going to get wet but you don't have to get all your components gunked up with shite. Of course being a filthy casual who only rides for recreation on a hybrid you wouldn't understand these things. You realize most folks use their bicycles to reach destinations other than home, where they can wash their jerseys.

>Explain how mud is going to get onto your components without being kicked up by the tire exactly?
A fender is a narrow strip above the tire. The derailleurs, chain, etc are well below that level. The fenders would keep some mud from getting thrown around but the stuff will still get dirty and the fenders don't block it from mud.
>Of course being a filthy casual who only rides for recreation on a hybrid you wouldn't understand these things. You realize most folks use their bicycles to reach destinations other than home, where they can wash their jerseys.
I ride for transportation and recreation. Riding to a place other than home doesn't mean not riding back home afterwards. I can still wash my jersey and take a shower when I get home. And if I want to be clean and dry at my destination, I can wear a rain jacket and rain pants and take them off when I arrive at my destination. It sounds to me like you are a filthy casual who is afraid of a little bit of water and mud.
Also, I don't know if you meant to imply that I only have a hybrid, but I also have two road bikes and a mountain bike.

pos bike that can't accommodate fenders, look at that wheel to fork gap
>i'm so tough
>implying no buyer's remorse
>actually riding a hybrid like a pleb
>>896570
It has fender mounts. Whether or not they would work well is irrelevant because I don't want them regardless. I don't see why I would have buyer's remorse considering I have 3 other bikes but it is still the one I ride most. I also don't see how riding a hybrid makes me a pleb when I do much longer rides than you.

Who are you talking to?

shouldve bought a surly
>>896664
Isn't a surly just an expensive 90's rigid mtb with drops?
>>896666
And disc brake mounts
>>896664
jesus fuck could that headtube be any longer.
>>896666
>surly
>expensive
>>896675
Isn't the base price (for the cheapest surly model) somewhere around $1000 USD? A little much don't you think for a 90's rigid mtb with drops and disc brakes?
>>896686
It's a '90s rigid mtb, but without the "90's" part. That's what they cost back in the day, and they haven't got any cheaper over 20 years. Finding a good one on craiglist and upgrading with modern parts is a fun project and a great deal, but if you just want a new one (with disks) this is what you pay.
>>896672
It's suck to be tall. Properly sized comfy bike will always look dork.
>>896686
$1000 is a very fair price.
>>896545
Then why are yoy so fucking fat?

>Fenders are pointless during rain storms because they will only keep a fraction of the water and mud off
You're thinking of "ass savers" not "fenders", there is a difference. Ass savers are there to prevent the mud streak up your back, that's it.
Fenders cover a much larger part of the wheel so the main thing you need to worry about is water. Whatever minimal amounts of dirt get past the fenders gets washed off pretty quick by the rain. The disadvantage of full fenders is that they tend to bump into things if you are riding over big rocks and tree roots and shit like that. But on the road you pictured, it's fine.
Getting shit all over yourself and your equipment is not something to be proud of. It's a childish way to think. You want to roll around in the dirt, you don't need a bike for that.

Fucking deep, bro. Did you have hypochondriac parents who didn't let you play outside as a kid? Is that why you feel like you have to smear dirt all over yourself any time you see it? To get back at mommy and daddy?
That feel when no qt girl to bike with on the Midtown Greenway.

>>896952
No. The faggot is scared to get his bike dirty so obviously he doesn't actually ride, and the people that don't actually ride are the fixie faggots. Freds actually ride, just long fast or far or often.
>>896965
Kind of like how people who wear shoes are afraid to get their feet cut and don't even walk?
You're a recreational weekend cyclist, that's really all you need to say
>>896966
I guarantee I ride more than you, faggot. Of course I ride for recreation. Of course I ride on weekends. I also ride to commute. I also ride on week days. I also ride at night. I ride all the fucking time faggot.
>people who wear shoes don't walk
No fucktard, bikes are designed for transportation, not for mud protection. Most people actually ride bikes, only a few don't, kind of like the fucking whoresluts that get shoes just to look "pretty".
>>896968
>people only buy shoes to look pretty
Uh huh. Because pretty shoes aren't still shoes.
I bet you're one of those people who thinks bike specific clothes are a scam and Real Cyclists ride in basketball shorts and vans.
Yo for real though how do you get one of those jerseys?
>>896971
By going back in time to when we placed the order over a year ago.
Or wait for Gen 1.1 which is similar, but not identical, which has been pushed back to spring 2016. Watch for the threads come spring.

Aside from weight and possibly too-tight clearances, why wouldn't you use fenders?
>>900149
aesthetics, plus the majority of recreational cyclists are fair-weather riders who don't really need them
