Hi folks

I'm looking to upgrade my bike. I use use it mostly for commuting about 25k a days and longer trips on weekends. I found this online and was wondering if any could offer any advice as to whether its worth the money and any opinions on the changes that have been made to it.

  • LaPierre are a decent brand so that's not a problem. No idea if it's value for money though.

    Also - that rear wheel is a problem waiting to happen. Very low spoke count and paired spokes, individually those are style over substance decisions that may cause problems later, together... I suspect it would go out of true regularly and your local shop won't enjoy repairing it for you.
