Motobecane Mirage Pro gear reviews

you get what you pay for - You cant expect to impress the Ferrari's w/ a Fiat. But for the price, I couldn't find anything at the LBS, used on CL and you won't find anything close in value or quality at Wally-World or Target. Like I said in the strengths, its a good transition bike from a roadie to a tri bike. You can spend some time in aero so you can get the feel for it, but if you bonk, its too hilly or your tired, you can fall back to the roadie position.
Again, it's a good solid bike to start out with for your first couple of years. But if you get into the sport, or think you will, then you will probably want to upgrade at some point. If your plan is to just buy a roadie, put some aerobars on it, race a few races, and do not want to commit a lot of cash for the foreseeable future, then this is a good choice.

Great bang for the buck. A lot of people are sceptical about the internet bike shops that purchased the European names (Motobecane, Dawes, Windsor to name a few). I went for it and I am happy I did.

Despite the fact that the shifters and brakes are only Soara they are still Shamino and the bike is a great value.

I realize that most of the things I complained about on this bike are easily replaceable components, but as I bought it on eBay this was how it came.
