Budget bikes have been looked down on by "serious" cyclists for as long as I can remember. And whether it was for unreliable components, bad geometry, or funny sounding names, there are a lot of reasons they probably deserved it. Over the last couple of years I've had the chance to ride some bikes that punched way above their price point and the Primos Dame and Mono are two of my favorite. In this video I go over their specs, talk about what it's been like riding them and let you know which one I'd pick.
