Dear Editor,
a trivial incident has put out of use my old bike. I am bound to an unforeseen and unexpected change of bike. Given the situation I am oriented towards the purchase of a Road Race Merida 903, which could come in my garage at a price of around 950.00 Euros. What do you think?
Dear Reader, value for money from your bike evaluated, as other products Merida, which is good. The chassis is a triple-thickness aluminium with a carbon fork. Being an entry level product, is not made with ultra-thick tubes reduced, but their main components with which it is made to the bike it increased the weight, which remains content if we consider the price band should be placed where the bike. Compared to other products, also has a group like the Tiagra, who have not 10 or 11 is a safe speed for reliability and ease of use. Is should be noted also that the group has adopted in full and not in part, as with other models of the same price. Even the wheels are not breaking, but higher than those taken on other competitors and a bike equipped with excellent reliability. The rest of the components, stem, handlebar, seatpost etc. is in the standard segment of the price at which owning the bike. Overall, then, this is a good bike, proposed at a price attractive and have sound components. An ideal bike to start or for those who no longer beginners, has no ambitions to record weights and tends rather to the overall quality and reliability. Merida's only flaw is, perhaps, not have a good grip on the market, but is not a problem that arises when you want to buy a bike to keep it for many years.
