*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*

Hey Zack; Great video as usual. I have to concur with you on the Wabi statement you made. I have a Wabi Special, and I have to say, it is one of my favorite bikes, of my fleet of 12. Also in the $800. bracket, I like my Bianchi Pista's. The new chrome ones are a shot of working class elegance, and a super comfy ride. I love the updated decals, and the front, and rear brakes. 2 great fixies in the $800.00 bracket. I would suggest checking Ebay for some discounted, gently used mid range fixies, but it seems to me most of what's on Ebay, is used stuff, at, or above retail. Sure they have upgrades, but used, is used, and the upgrades are used. Tremendous depreciation on the over all value, no matter what's on there. Thanks for the great vids!!

Thank you for your tips on measuring and the link to competitive cyclist! I almost bought the wrong size bike because I didn't know my top tube measurement.

I have aventon mataro low for about a year anddd I recommended a wheel upgrade even though those push wheels set are fine and quite durable but a light wheel set does better justice to the bike

Great video. Wabi bikes are fun for my eyeballs :)

Would you please do a post on what to look for in cycling glasses? I really would like to get some photochromatic ones.

I just did my measurements on the competitivecyclist.com website and boy was I way off my initial estimates based on just average sizing ( word of mouth techniques) 🤣.
So thank you Zach for the info ! Love watching your vids. Been off the saddle for almost 20 some years and definitely helps an old school bmxer with getting back on the bike !

You've outdone yourself on this one. Great vid. More please.

I've been thinking about getting into fixed gear bikes. I live in Peru and I'd like to spend at most 500 dollars. That being said, at that pricepoint I could get an iNeed Street.

PLease do a video on alluminium frames and dents and carbon frames and cracks plz!

[GinaLollobrigida]

make video about bike clothing, especially autumn and winter seasons.
+ video about bags (there are crazy cheap options in china under 60$ + they are good quality)

[kylechung]

At 1000+ dollars... it would be better to get the undefeated 2 from performance bicycle, a fixed gear at about 16 pounds!

[andresfernandezvargas]

I'm from Mexico and I have a 300 dlls budget, what do you recommend?
