Which bike should I buy?

In 3–5 minutes, tell us about yourself, how you ride, and what matters to you. We scout the live market and come back with honest picks: real prices, head-to-head comparisons, our fit estimate, and where to buy for the best price.

Hi, I’m Nick. Choosebike is my research project: a way to learn what today’s AI technology can really do — and, at the same time, my answer to the question so many people kept asking me: which bike suits me best? It’s the answer I’d give you over coffee, backed by live market research. (I also built maibike, the app that keeps your bikes healthy.)

Independent — and free. When you buy through some of the shop links in your advice, that shop pays us a small commission. That’s the whole business model: it funds the research so you don’t have to. The picks are locked before any link is attached, no manufacturer pays us anything, and the price is the same for you either way.

1 · Your riding

Type of bike, the terrain you actually ride, budget, inseam — the questions a good shop would ask.

2 · Live research

We search the current market in your region: what's in stock, what it really costs, what reviewers measured.

3 · The verdict

2–3 picks with the reasoning shown: why this one, what beats it, the honest money take, your size.

What a pick looks like

Rose Shave (105 Di2 build)

from ~€3,600

Top pick

“You ranked aero first, fun second — this is the rare bike that doesn’t make you trade one for the other. Rose says the Shave is 4.7% more aerodynamic and up to 10% lighter than the X-Lite it replaces, and the base build is deliberately the ‘race comfort’ version…”
