Hi All,
I'm thinking about buying my first race bike and I've pretty much got it down to two possibles:

Kuwahara LaserLite Pro Bike (2010)

or,

Intense Race Pro XL Bike (2010)

I'm about 5'6/7.

Any help with which one to go for would be very much appreciated

Both decent entry level bikes so choice will probably come down to price/value for money and which looks best.

Put some pics up of each one so we can compare.

go with the intense. it may feel a little bit weird but once you get used to the change you should notice being quicker

I'd go Kuwi personally

I too say Kuwi, mainly cos it doesnt look like a halfords Magna like the Intense does

I`d rethink and then buy a Redline ...

Have looked at FreeAgent ?

I've looked at the redline and the free agent.

at this price, the redline looks a bit boring colour wise! the free agent limo looks good though!

Don't go on looks, check the components

Redline offer some of the best components for an 'off the shelf bike'

Free agents have a long back end and that won't suit your height.

Got myself a Kuwahara Laserlite and I'm thrilled with it.

Thanks for the help Y'all

Nice one, looks like you've cracked it with that, lovely bike for a great price

telelogic · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2010, 02:52 PM »

Yeah Baby!

I stuck a big Maxxis holy roller on the front this morning and it's looking hot

What size tire are used by racers nowadays?

Moschops · « **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2010, 03:59 PM »

there's a can of worms topic

Latest trend is to go smaller than you would expect, I've just dropped to a 1.75 front and rear both maxxis holly rollers......gotta say I really like it.

telelogic · « **Reply #15 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:02 PM »

I just swapped out the front 1.75 cos it looked so tiny!

Moschops · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2010, 10:25 AM »

Yeah I know what ya mean...looks a bit gay don't it

But once ridden you'll live with the odd looks
