My first bicycle project was when I had 15 year old and this project was born from a desire. My desire was to build a bicycle according to my tastes.

Having a passion about bicycles when I was a child I started to modify my bicycle. I started in March 2019 after I bought a cheap bicycle.

I started with very important pieces of bicycle, as shifters, brakes and wheels. Also all bicycle parts are important but these are the most important. I bought a SHIMANO DEORE shifters, SHIMANO ALIVIO disc brakes and Continental Cross King tires.

It was starting to look and work the way I wanted and because of my passion for bicycles I started to repair them and have a small business.

In July 2021 I make a bicycle trip around Cluj county together with two friends. This bicycle trip had 125 km which we ride in 7 hours with pauses.

In this bicycle trip we were through the principal localities Apahida and Gherla. We started from Sarmasu, a small city from Mures county placed at on the border of Cluj county and Bistrita-Nasaud County at the same distance between Cluj-Napoca, Targu Mures and Bistrita.

Our first objective were to arrive in Apahida and after in Gherla. Also our trip were a circuit.

On this bicycle trip I saw most beautiful landscapes from the heart of Transylvania.

After I build my first bicycle project I was started to repair the bicycle s of my friends. While I repair the bicycles of my friends I formed a little experience in bicycle repair domain and after I was more and more eager to learn new things about bicycles.

Therefore, I started to document myself about bicycles and I started to do better and to know more and more details about bicycles, from wheels at frame shape and more tiny details.

After I assimilated more information and more experience and my clients were more and more satisfied, more and more clients started coming to my service.

The derailleur is one of the most important parts of the bicycle. This ensures the speed change so that the pedaler can do it easier or harder depending on the difficulty of the road. They can be from one speed and can reach up to 12, there is a varied range of shifters on the market of better or lower quality, from different companies. The best are Shimano and Sram, which have low cost and more expensive parts.

The adjustment of this part is done by fixing the limit screws and by correctly stretching the cable from the lever to the shifter. They also require compatibility between parts because otherwise they will not work correctly.

Road bikes are designed to be ridden fast on smooth pavement. They have smooth, skinny tires and "drop" handlebars, and can be used for on-road racing. They are usually lighter than other types of bicycles.

Mountain bikes are design for riding rough off-road trails. They have flat or upright handlebars, and a very low gear range for pedaling up steep trails. Most mountain bikes have some type of shock absorbers or suspension.

Touring Bikes are another special type of road bike. They are designed to be ridden on pavement, but are more durable for use on self-supported long-distance riding.

BMX Bikes are popular with kids because of their small size, but they are used by adults and kids alike for various styles of trick and stunt riding.

Hybrid bikes were originally conceived to provide the advantages of both road bikes and mountain bikes. Their large, padded seats and upright handlebars provide a comfortable riding position, and are best for casual riding around the neighborhood or bike paths, short-distance commuting, and errands around town.

City bike - The term "city bike" doesn't really refer to a specific category of bikes; it's more of a general descriptive term. They might also be called "commuter" or "urban" bikes, although many of the bikes listed on this page can be used quite well for riding and commuting in a city.

The brakes are another most important part of the bike. They ensure the stopping of the bicycle, being the safety system of the bicycle. this bicycle safety system is of several types.

There are v-brakes, which are the least reliable but are good if they are put on a city bike. Another type of brake is the disc brake, which is divided into 2 other categories: mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical disc brakes are good because they have a lower maintenance cost and do not have a high price.

Hydraulic disc brakes are the most efficient brakes that can be put on bicycles because they have a high braking speed. Even if they are not as cheap brakes, these are the most preferred by bike enthusiasts.

The tires, along with derailleurs, brakes and the rest of the components that are part of a bicycle, are an important part for the type of bicycle we use.

For asphalt bikes, the tires are narrower and smoother so that they run fast.

For city bikes, asphalt tires or intermediate tires can be used, depending on the preferences of each person.

Mountain bike tires are the most varied because they are for different types of surfaces, such as mud, stones, roots and many others. They have a thick surface with large studs to provide grip and stability to the bike.

the best bike tire manufacturers are Continental, Schwalbe and MAXXIS who have tires for every type of bike.

In the summer of 2020, together with my friends, we decided to go to Targu Mures. The distance between the starting location, Sarmasu and Targu Mures was approximately 60 km.

The route to Targu Mures was not an easy one because the heat and the hills that had to be climbed on the bike were two big obstacles that made the route difficult and after this route I added a new destination to the list of routes done.

The most common bike frame material, aluminum is known for being corrosion resistant, fairly light (though typically not as light as carbon fiber), and having a high strength-to-weight ratio. It’s also reasonably affordable, making it a popular choice for riders and racers on a budget.

The downside is that stiffness often means a harsher ride quality because it doesn’t absorb road buzz as well as the other frame materials.

By far the most commonly used bike frame material for higher-end mountain and road bikes, carbon fiber is a composite of carbon sheets that are bonded together in a mold using resin. The primary advantage of the material is that at a given stiffness, carbon fiber is significantly lighter than aluminum, steel, or titanium.

Santa cruz v10 is in my opinion the best bike ever produced. This is used in mountain bikes and has a good configuration of parts. The parts with which it comes assembled are the carbon frame which is very light, the shifter from SRAM which has a very good precision and the brakes are part of the top gear from SHIMANO XTR.

Also, the wheels are made of some carbon rims and MAXXIS tires. At the same time, the suspensions chosen by Santa Cruz are from RockShox, suspensions that are some of the best on the market.
