So glad you are enjoying your new bike We really like this bike during our extensive test rides and I personally am thinking about getting one for myself. Thank you for your comment and please let us know how you like yours after a long term ride.
I love this bike!! I’ve put about 25 miles on it so far!! I can not believe how amazing it is to ride!! I am so happy! I’m a big dude and this bike is handling me so good so far!!
Love this bike! glad I bought it back in July and looking at the website it appears that it has gone up again? now its at $700.00. Still, I have to say that I would pay that amount for this bike because it is such a fun bike to ride! Coming from an old Hardrock Specialized MTB, which I still have, this feels so great and new! If you can find this bike, I would certainly recommend it. Love the big tires too and the 1x drivechain. This is a good channel by the way!
Fantastic review mate, I remember a few weeks ago I asked your opinion on whether to get this bike or the Specilized cross trail and you were kind enough to reply firstly and then give me some great advice. Unfortunately you can’t find this bike in stock anywhere at present due to the virus but I will be getting one as soon as it becomes avaliable. Again thank you and keep making great content!!!
Well thanks again for your comment and I'm glad to answer any questions. We have been lucky here at Biloxi Bicycle Works to be able to get our hands on some of these bikes. We did have a waiting list and most of these were my friends wanting to buy luckily I was able to put several of them in the hands of people who live locally and now we have a great group of riders and this bike really makes it fun for us to do multi-surface rides instead of just having to be on the pavement all the time. Good luck in your search and if there's anything I can do please let me know I'll be glad to
I actually bought this one (L model) and got it delivered yesterday. It was hard to get hold off it. They were still flying off the shelves at my retailer’s shop. So I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to buy one. They were gone at the same second they arrived. The only ones left was the bikes for “not that tall people”). In Europe the company Specialized has their stock in The Netherlands so when my retailer was expecting a new delivery of some +80 bikes, a guy from the shop called me up and said: “It is on its way”. So I placed my order. 😊 I’ve had Specialized Hybrid earlier l but that one had 27 gears and there’s no use for it. This 8 gear choice seems useful. Anyway. The snow lays 30 cm (1ft) thick here in Stockholm, so the bike sits in its box and I’m waiting for spring. It seems as a damn good bike for the money (6,990 SEK or $651) and I bought the “GLOSS ARCTIC BLUE”, and it looks pretty awesome. Keep on biking!
Do you think that the bike size runs large? I really want to try one but the bike shops are sold out. I feel comfortable on a large bike but I was told that a medium would be a better fit. I am 5' 8" and my inseam is 33 inches.
@@apollovizsla Look i have the large one and i am 6' So i guess medium should be the best size for you. But you can have the large one too but you might have your saddle all the way down.
Yes they are a fantastic bike at a great price and hard to get a hold of at the moment. Definitely worth the wait if you can just hold up for a bit and tell production catches back up. Thank you for your comment
Got one of these last month. Good bike. My only criticism would be the control cable for the rear derailleur is routed along the bottom bar (due to the offset join of the top bars at the saddle) - and as a result the inner heel of your right foot can catch it as you peddle. I’d prefer to have it routed thru the top bars - well away from your feet.
In Italy (or in Europe I think) the available colors are black or red, I have the totally black one, love it. I think that 600 euro is a good price for this kind of bike, and I had a 10% discount from the bike shop (physical store). My only dislike is for the grips, I felt a little bit unconfortable with the shape of the grips, I changed it with a pair of specialized trail grips wich I personally prefer. A further consideration is that probably I'd rather have the 9 speed like in the X3.0, instead of the 12t of the X2.0 the X3.0 has the 11t and the 13t (and the X3.0 has also the clutch in the derailleur wich I don't feel the need). So in the future when it will be the time to change the chain or cassette probably I will put the 9speed advent cassette; the derailleur of the X2.0 is compatible, I will need the 9 speed advent shifter (price on line less or more 20€), the 9 speed advent cassette (price on line less or more 35€), the chain. But is only a plus, and personally I would not have bought the X3.0 spending 230€ more only for an alluminium fork, one more gear and a slightly better brake system (I think that promax f1 brake work fine and are absolutely adequate for this kind of bike). I love my bike, I like it aesthetically and it is a pleasure to ride (for sure I am not an expert biker).
Wow thanks for keeping us in the loop to what's happening in Europe That's pretty far away from some of us in the US and we're always curious to how things are going over there. Thank you for your comment
Are you certain - I thought that they had some models with a Hi-Ten fork, then one model with an alum fork followed by the more expensive ones with carbon forks. If it is a Hi-Ten fork then I am surprised that the bike weighs under 12kg - 25 pounds. Anyway, how are you finding the bike weight-wise - the hi-ten fork would put me off as I would assume the bike was heavy with such a fork. Edit: My mistake - the X 3.0 has the alum fork.
Just ordered mine, found one at a local shop, and It was still in the box. Getting it next day. Had bought a $200 bike, I quickest understood why buying a good quality bike is necessary when using a bike on the daily basis. Definitely the first of many.
I am considering one of these as a possible e-bike conversion using a tongsheng motor. Edit: My mistake - the X 3.0 is the one that I am considering. It comes with an alum fork. The 2.0 comes with a hi-ten steel fork. I am very surprised that this X 2.0 weights just 25 pounds considering that it has a hi-ten steel fork. I assumed it would be much heavier with a steel fork.
@@priscillawood368 Wow - thanks Priscilla. I had not heard that. I will do some digging. You might just have saved me a lot of money and grief. Much appreciated.
I'm selling all 3 of mine to get this one, I don't think my local bike shop sells specialized, I wonder if they do trade in, I got a 2020 giant roam 4 the basic model, this would be a nice slight upgrade, I just want something lighter I gotta learn to ride again after my leg break.
I went around the city looking for a bike within $1000~$1500 budget and every store is completely wiped out. A popular bike spot only had $5k+ selection and many others had no selection at all. Trek bikes caught my eye but can't find any within a 100m radius.
Yes same goes in our area The bicycle shortage is real and is starting to affect people who want to ride but just can't get the correct bike to do it. I do see specialized ramping up there production and distribution lines and we are starting to get a few trickle in to the Biloxi Mississippi area. Come down and ride with us if you get a chance it's a blast down here!
@@TheBicycleRider I went to a shop that specialized in Trek and found a Domane 2.0 Road bike that was in my budget. Loving the bike except for the breaks, They have no stopping power at all.
Man, I passed that bike up for a Kona mountain bike. But I will definitely add that to my arsenal soon. I love that color. What’s the big differences between the 3.0 that was the one I passed up, because I really love that color.
Ordered one in Dusty Turquoise 6 weeks ago. Still on back order with no estimate timeframe. It’s like they don’t exist within 500 miles of SoCal. It’s frustrating because other countries seem to be getting regular shipments of these.
The cassette has 8 cogs (12-15-18-21-24-28-34-42), the shifter is a 8 speed, the derailleur is for 8 or 9 speed, so only the derailleur is 9 speed but you have 8 cogs...all about advent is explained in Microshift website.
Nice review, been watching all of them. Can’t wait for specialized to be back in stock at my LBS. Can you do a review on the regular Sirrus 4.0? Just a suggestion here that maybe you can think about. do some reviews outside for better lighting on the bikes or change the bulbs color temp in the light above you, because the video is very dingy and dark looking. It’s hard to see the true color and details of the bikes you are reviewing
We would love to do a review on the 4.0 but at the moment we are running into the same problem and just can't get our hands on one but believe me as soon as we can we will be riding itand pushing it to the limits so we can do a really good review on it. Hopefully this will happen soon. Thank you for your suggestion
Just purchased this bike and love the combo of comfort and speed. If I upgrade to the 1x9 Microshift, other than having a clutch, what other benefit will I notice while riding? Thanks.
Well the micro shift is just a smooth shifting system other than smoothness you should get a little bit more gear range but for the price of upgrading I would keep what you have and just ride it and be happy . If you do go through the expense of upgrading please let us know how you like it. Thank you
I have only written the trek DS models a few times they are good bikes but for some reason the specialized just feels better to me. When pushing the track DS it just seems sluggish although this is just my personal opinion Trek does makes a great bike!
You should be okay. I've been riding in the texas hill country since I got it a couple days ago and had no problem with the large 42tooth rear cog and the front 40tooth chainring.
Great suggestion and believe me we are trying to get our hands on that bike there are just in short supply right now but as soon as something comes our way we will definitely be riding and reviewing it!
Please check recent reviews for the Sirrus 3 / X3 / 4 / X4 models on Specialized.com before placing order. There appears to be a dangerous design fault with crankshaft bolt / pedal arm coming off mid ride! Over 27 negative reviews reporting this fault so please check this first.
That's a great question and I have done quite a bit of climbing on this bike without problem. I'm not a hugely powerful rider but with the gearing on this bike I should say the wide range gearing on this bike It really does climb fabulously! It has a good geometry to keep traction and just seems to zip up hills. I like taking this bike on the gravel where DOT doesn't control the grades as much as I'm paved roads and this bike really does fly uphill. I have also used it to commute back and forth to work over the bridge I'm very windy days so I have had to use the climbing gears to just spin up and I think specialized has nailed the gear combination on this bike.
I have seen your 4.0 review as well as this one on the 2.0. Do you have a 3.0 review in the works ? Interested in your thoughts on the differences between the 3.0 and 4.0.
Which one would you recommend, this one or 2.0 if its for a road use mostly, but for an amateur?? Would the thin tyers on 2.0 be a problem, harder drive maybe??
Good question and as soon as you say mostly road that means you're still doing a little off-road This would make me tend to lean towards the x model. You might enjoy the ride a little bit more with the wider tires and if you do decide to go light off road you will be ready.
Lucky to have got this when I did! Love this bike when I’m not on the stumpy! Crazy to see it at $700 retail now! Am I missing an update to the one I got for $600?
I'm looking for a new bike because my old one is precisely that, old. I'm thinking about trying to get either one of these bikes here,or a Roll Sport. Why would I want one over the other?
Yes specialized is still making the crossroads they are just out of stock at the moment. Between the crossroads and the Sirrus x they are really twi different bikes. The crossroads definitely has a more upright geometry that is very comfortable and versatile You could take this on dirt roads without a problem but if gravel and dirt are what you're interested in the Sirrus x definitely brings this type of riding to a whole another level. The SiriusX is built for just what you're talking about so the choice is clear for me pick the Sirrus x
Can you suggest any fenders that would fit the Sirrus X 2.0 with 42 tires? i have the Sirrus X 2.0 and have been struggling to find a set of full fenders that fit. I have brought it to multiple LBS's and they have told me the bigger tires don't have enough clearance and i would need to get smaller tires. I dont want smaller tires, hence why i bought the 'X'. Both bike shops i checked specialized branded fenders and attempted to install them with no luck. a few other fenders they had in stock also did not fit unfortunately
Would this bike be good for a long distance trail ride and be able to handle a good amount of bags and racks? For example: The Great Allegheny Passage, from Pittsburgh to Washington DC? Would it be comfortable to ride for approximately 335 miles?
@@TheBicycleRider Thanks, Id rather go into a shop and test an x 2.0 but no one has any. Every once in a while I'll see one pop up online but hesitant to order
New subscriber and I’m looking for a bike to help me lose weight and stay fit . I’m trying to decide between the sirrus 2.0 and the roll sport ... please help 😭
Wow great question both bikes you mentioned are very good The Sirrus xit's just very hard to get a hold of at the moment but I would almost consider you taking a ride on the roll, if you're looking to lose weight the role is comfortable yet fun to ride sometimes the key to losing weight is being able to enjoy the ride of the bike so you do it more often. If you can get your hands on a roll don't hesitate just buy it ride and smile and your weight will fall off while you're having fun. Please keep us in the loop to what you get we'd love to hear a success story
Dam guy , loves your reviews man , I was going to get the trek verve 3 or fx 3 but came across you , only problem I need this bike now & everything in Chicagoland sold out , is the single speed version ok or get this 2.0 or 3.0 , 800 is my price range , thanks
Thank you for your compliment and I think you made a wise choice with the specialized! We are just so impressed with this bike and we really do ride it very hard and multiple situations We spent quite a bit of time on this bike before doing this review and are just very impressed with the overall performance first price on this bike. I think you made the right choice and please let us know after you receive it and ride it a few times how you like it? Thank you
Specialized has had a price increase since this video was published. Also this is last years model. But you are right, the 2021 X 2.0 is like $750 right now.
I am trying to find 2020 Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 online on Specialized website and local stores in Austin. It is out of stock. Where else can I buy this one?
I just bought a small black sirrus x 2.0 on Thursday July 9th 2020 at the Bikebarn in College Station Texas. They had the black one that I bought and a white one in small. The white one looks really nice,I kinda regret not buying it. I would call then asap. They will hold it over the phone with a 25%deposit over the phone.
I live in Houston,Tx and called and went to multiple bike shops and found only two in the extra large size. I'm a small. One of the sales person was telling me that they sold more bikes in the last tree months than they did all last year. It makes sense considering all gyms in the Houston area were closed. City's like NYC that depend solely on public transportation were seeing surges in bike sales. The sales person also told me that most manufacturing facilities in Asian countries closed down because of the pandemic. I finally found my size small Sirrus X 2.0 in College Station, Tx,about an hour and a half from Houston. I've been enjoying it for about a week now. I can see my self out growing the perfomance of the components but everything on this bike is totally upgradeable. It comes with an internal front derailleur cable guide if you decide to upgrade to a front derailleur in the future. I found the seat a little uncomfortable but I'm sure its because I haven't been on a bike for years. I'm sure bike shorts with padding will help. I would absolutely recommend this bike for the money ($600). The fork is made of steel, not aluminum like the video says. I would also recommend calling up bike shops in smaller towns. All of the bike shops in the Houston area literally only had about 20% of there normal inventory and alot of it was high end expensive bikes. Ride safe and good luck finding one.
The Sirrus 2.0 is better for riding on Pavement, were the Sirrus X 2.0 might be a little slower on Pavement, but it will perform better on gravel or multi-surface rides. The Sirrus X 2.0 also has a more upright riding position, which could be more comfortable for some riders. If you are looking for more details, here is a list of some specs that are different. 2.0 SHIFT LEVERS are the Shimano Acera, 8-speed X 2.0 SHIFT LEVERS are the MicroSHIFT, 8-Speed 2.0 FRONT DERAILLEUR is a Shimano Tourney FD-TY710 X 2.0 doesn't have a Front Derailleur 2.0 REAR DERAILLEUR is a Shimano Acera, 8-speed X 2.0 REAR DERAILLEUR is a MicroSHIFT Advent 8 Speed, W/O Clutch 2.0 CASSETTE is a Shimano Altus, 8-speed, 11-32t X 2.0 CASSETTE is a MicroSHIFT, 8-Speed, 12-42t 2.0 has 2 Chainrings 46/30T w/chainguard X 2.0 has 1 Chainring 40T, Narrow-wide Steel 2.0 Tires are RoadSport Reflect, Wire bead, Blackbelt/Endurant Casing, 700x32c X2.0 Tires are Pathfinder Sport, 700x42mm X2.0 has a shorter stem X2.0 has a wider handlebar X2.0 has a higher stand-over height X2.0 has a slightly higher bottom bracket
I would definitely go to that bike ASAP and test ride it. They are scarce, especially the smaller sizes. I'm 5,5" and I got lucky by finding a small about 120 away from where I live.
Thank you! We are still making improvements when shooting in the new bicycle shop. When we can shoot in Gary's studio the lighting is really nice and we're trying to accomplish this even remotely. Thank you for your comment I'm sure Gary will appreciate it! He works hard at making sure the video quality is as good as possible
I bought the same exact Sirrus X 2.0 and I am loving it! Thank you for the review. Your reviews are crisp!
So glad you are enjoying your new bike We really like this bike during our extensive test rides and I personally am thinking about getting one for myself. Thank you for your comment and please let us know how you like yours after a long term ride.

I’m a big fan of the Advent drivetrain. MicroShift hit a home run. It’s solid and very affordable. It is, however, a 9-speed system, not 8.
The cassette has 8 cogs (12-15-18-21-24-28-34-42), the shifter is a 8 speed, the derailleur is for 8 or 9 speed, so only the derailleur is 9 speed but you have 8 cogs...all about advent is explained in Microshift website.

If you do go through the expense of upgrading please let us know how you like it. Thank you
How does it perform on uphill roads ;;; due to the gears 1x8 ?? And also any ideas comparison with the trek ds2 2020
The 1x8 gearing on this bike really is good! There's plenty of gearing for going uphills and being a one by it keeps it pretty simple and lightweight.
I have only written the trek DS models a few times they are good bikes but for some reason the specialized just feels better to me. When pushing the track DS it just seems sluggish although this is just my personal opinion Trek does makes a great bike!
You should be okay. I've been riding in the texas hill country since I got it a couple days ago and had no problem with the large 42tooth rear cog and the front 40tooth chainring.
Fork is actually made of steel.
can you please do a review on the specialized Sirrus X 3.0
Great suggestion and believe me we are trying to get our hands on that bike there are just in short supply right now but as soon as something comes our way we will definitely be riding and reviewing it!
Please check recent reviews for the Sirrus 3 / X3 / 4 / X4 models on Specialized.com before placing order. There appears to be a dangerous design fault with crankshaft bolt / pedal arm coming off mid ride! Over 27 negative reviews reporting this fault so please check this first.
what is the width of a handle bar?
how is this bike for climbing hills? with the 1x8 I have a few concerns about going up inclines
That's a great question and I have done quite a bit of climbing on this bike without problem. I'm not a hugely powerful rider but with the gearing on this bike I should say the wide range gearing on this bike It really does climb fabulously! It has a good geometry to keep traction and just seems to zip up hills. I like taking this bike on the gravel where DOT doesn't control the grades as much as I'm paved roads and this bike really does fly uphill. I have also used it to commute back and forth to work over the bridge I'm very windy days so I have had to use the climbing gears to just spin up and I think specialized has nailed the gear combination on this bike.
Old now , i think that bike is for me
I have seen your 4.0 review as well as this one on the 2.0. Do you have a 3.0 review in the works ? Interested in your thoughts on the differences between the 3.0 and 4.0.
Yes we have a 3.0 video coming out very soon please stay tuned 3.0 is a fun bike I've been riding it around town and I like it
Will this bike help me get ET home?
Needs a basket first...
Which one would you recommend, this one or 2.0 if its for a road use mostly, but for an amateur?? Would the thin tyers on 2.0 be a problem, harder drive maybe??
Good question and as soon as you say mostly road that means you're still doing a little off-road This would make me tend to lean towards the x model. You might enjoy the ride a little bit more with the wider tires and if you do decide to go light off road you will be ready.
En México esta en 750 dolares. :c
what’s the difference between this and the 2.0
The Sirrus x , Let you run much bigger tires there are a few other differences but clearance for larger tires would be the main big difference.
Hello. I plan to get this. My height is 180cm. Will M frame size fit me well? Thanks in advance.
Lucky to have got this when I did! Love this bike when I’m not on the stumpy! Crazy to see it at $700 retail now!
Am I missing an update to the one I got for $600?
I'm looking for a new bike because my old one is precisely that, old. I'm thinking about trying to get either one of these bikes here,or a Roll Sport. Why would I want one over the other?
Roll is slow
How does this compare to Marin Kentfield 2? Which is better value?
which one would you pick between this one and the regular 2.0? of and the Trek FX2 as well
Do they still make the crosstrail? Which one would you recommend for flat dirt trails and use on roads?
Yes specialized is still making the crossroads they are just out of stock at the moment. Between the crossroads and the Sirrus x they are really twi different bikes. The crossroads definitely has a more upright geometry that is very comfortable and versatile You could take this on dirt roads without a problem but if gravel and dirt are what you're interested in the Sirrus x definitely brings this type of riding to a whole another level. The SiriusX is built for just what you're talking about so the choice is clear for me pick the Sirrus x
Can you suggest any fenders that would fit the Sirrus X 2.0 with 42 tires? i have the Sirrus X 2.0 and have been struggling to find a set of full fenders that fit. I have brought it to multiple LBS's and they have told me the bigger tires don't have enough clearance and i would need to get smaller tires. I dont want smaller tires, hence why i bought the 'X'. Both bike shops i checked specialized branded fenders and attempted to install them with no luck. a few other fenders they had in stock also did not fit unfortunately
Would this bike be good for a long distance trail ride and be able to handle a good amount of bags and racks? For example: The Great Allegheny Passage, from Pittsburgh to Washington DC? Would it be comfortable to ride for approximately 335 miles?
No
@ Bart, I know you mentioned you were 5'9" in another video,were you test riding on a M or L x 2.0?
Yes you are correct I am 5'9 and I was riding the medium. Good question thank you
@@TheBicycleRider Thanks, Id rather go into a shop and test an x 2.0 but no one has any. Every once in a while I'll see one pop up online but hesitant to order
New subscriber and I’m looking for a bike to help me lose weight and stay fit . I’m trying to decide between the sirrus 2.0 and the roll sport ... please help 😭
Wow great question both bikes you mentioned are very good The Sirrus xit's just very hard to get a hold of at the moment but I would almost consider you taking a ride on the roll, if you're looking to lose weight the role is comfortable yet fun to ride sometimes the key to losing weight is being able to enjoy the ride of the bike so you do it more often. If you can get your hands on a roll don't hesitate just buy it ride and smile and your weight will fall off while you're having fun. Please keep us in the loop to what you get we'd love to hear a success story
Will it fit full coverage fenders/mudguards? Please help
Dam guy , loves your reviews man , I was going to get the trek verve 3 or fx 3 but came across you , only problem I need this bike now & everything in Chicagoland sold out , is the single speed version ok or get this 2.0 or 3.0 , 800 is my price range , thanks
You won’t go wrong with this sirrus x 3.0 if your budget is 800
Zhang Sunny I ordered the 2.0 x yesterday, going to upgrade the handle bar & seat post to carbon , if available, I’ll got with the 3
Thank you for your compliment and I think you made a wise choice with the specialized! We are just so impressed with this bike and we really do ride it very hard and multiple situations We spent quite a bit of time on this bike before doing this review and are just very impressed with the overall performance first price on this bike. I think you made the right choice and please let us know after you receive it and ride it a few times how you like it? Thank you
How’s it in snow?
what is the size of this bike you reviewed?
Why your price is so cheap compare online or any bike shop??
Specialized has had a price increase since this video was published. Also this is last years model. But you are right, the 2021 X 2.0 is like $750 right now.
Can this fit a 650b tire?
I am trying to find 2020 Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 online on Specialized website and local stores in Austin. It is out of stock. Where else can I buy this one?
I just bought a small black sirrus x 2.0 on Thursday July 9th 2020 at the Bikebarn in College Station Texas. They had the black one that I bought and a white one in small. The white one looks really nice,I kinda regret not buying it.
I would call then asap. They will hold it over the phone with a 25%deposit over the phone.
Hello, can someone help me decide what size I should buy I am 170 cm tall.
Specialized recommends a small if you are 158cm-165cm and a medium if you are 165cm-175mm for hybrids/commuter bikes.
Google Specialized sizing guide.
Specialized website says "lightweight" A1 Alloy frame...
Are we talking Aluminium ? ... and what's the actual weight ?
Yes, this bike has an Aluminum Frame, and its weight is around 25 pounds.
@@TheBicycleRider ThankXxx for the quick answer !
Seems like its impossible to get an X 2.0 online, have you guys heard anything as far as when they have bikes in stock?
I live in Houston,Tx and called and went to multiple bike shops and found only two in the extra large size. I'm a small. One of the sales person was telling me that they sold more bikes in the last tree months than they did all last year. It makes sense considering all gyms in the Houston area were closed. City's like NYC that depend solely on public transportation were seeing surges in bike sales. The sales person also told me that most manufacturing facilities in Asian countries closed down because of the pandemic.
I finally found my size small Sirrus X 2.0 in College Station, Tx,about an hour and a half from Houston. I've been enjoying it for about a week now. I can see my self out growing the perfomance of the components but everything on this bike is totally upgradeable. It comes with an internal front derailleur cable guide if you decide to upgrade to a front derailleur in the future. I found the seat a little uncomfortable but I'm sure its because I haven't been on a bike for years. I'm sure bike shorts with padding will help. I would absolutely recommend this bike for the money ($600). The fork is made of steel, not aluminum like the video says. I would also recommend calling up bike shops in smaller towns. All of the bike shops in the Houston area literally only had about 20% of there normal inventory and alot of it was high end expensive bikes.
Ride safe and good luck finding one.
@@sergio75ny1 for $600 really is best bang for the buck!
Anyone can explain me what is the difference between the 2.0 version and the X 2.0 except the extra room for tires..?!

What size is that. I found one in small and im 5'6 shop says they run a lil big.
I would definitely go to that bike ASAP and test ride it. They are scarce, especially the smaller sizes. I'm 5,5" and I got lucky by finding a small about 120 away from where I live.
@@sergio75ny1 i just payed over the phone. Ill find out in2 weeks.
@@Jaxongaming-d2l good luck. You'll definitely like it.
@@sergio75ny1 yea tnx men i had to re check my height. Im 5'6 so that small is good for me.
I'll take one in a large if you have one! Or when you get on in. I'm local!
Great lighting when reviewing a bike ffs
Thank you! We are still making improvements when shooting in the new bicycle shop. When we can shoot in Gary's studio the lighting is really nice and we're trying to accomplish this even remotely. Thank you for your comment I'm sure Gary will appreciate it! He works hard at making sure the video quality is as good as possible
