High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
May I also get some recommendations on what a good bike would have for example, the ones i am looking for right now are carbon racing bikes as I heard they were better than aluminum bikes.
Have you done any other stuff like mtn biking or bmx trails and stuff like that?
I don't have much experience with anything other than BMX/MTB, but I'd at least make sure it isn't an impulse buy if you're going to go in with a bike so expensive. Impulse buys can suck sometimes.
Ahhh, no its not an impulse buy, I had a road bike or mountain bike before this one, I am trying to go onto a racing bike as in my city theyve made new roads for racing bikes if that makes sense
On cycling forums you probably would get way more educated answers to your question and possibly some options/bikes to look into.
If you are not looking to participate in races I personally would choose a good quality (from reputable manufacturer) aluminum frame (since it's way cheaper than carbon) but if you want a durable carbon frame don't take a cheap one, only by from reputable manufacturers! (to name a few: Specialized, Scott, Giant, Diamondback, Orbea, Dema(reasonably good option if you are in EU)). I would not consider buying any carbon bike under 2000 usd.

I myself ride a good quality aluminum frame bike on regular bases for years already and it has worked flawlessly.
Second thing, unless you know exactly what you want it's probably best to buy the bike in your local bike shop so you can road test it a bit or at least sit on it and get some feel of it before making the purchase...
