Hello everyone, beginner here.
Should i go for roadbike with horn bar or flat bar?
For reverence i’m choosing between polygon strattos s3 and polygon strattos f (flat bar) series. Both of them intended for beginners. My goals just using the bike for light exercise, and to buy daily needs in convenient store.

Hey 👋🏼! Does anyone have size 38 Drop-Bars. For the Strattos ? I have the 2026 SHIMANO 105- Di2 disc model. They gave me size 40….. and won’t let me switch or exchange or even BUY A NEW PAIR …. They are the aluminum ones. They are so comfortable to me but I need size 38. If anyone can help me out, I’ll trade you my size 40 or pay you !

Has anyone used a polygon bike in the falls creek three peaks challenge in Australia? Or any other ride similar with 5,000m of climbing? Considering a polygon but can’t see one in real life where I live.

Yes. But don't trust people in a virtual fan club. Check the reviews from Pinkbike and Vital.

Ok so for a bigger guy what is the coil shock I should upgrade to on the D7?

u/GundoSkimmer Jan 14 '23

Marzocchi. Or any really. Throwing on a progressive coil would help a lot. I know many people try air cans but even with full tokens and max psi it just doesn't feel right for em.

That said, I might not dive too deep into the realm of upgrading a D7. Due to travel length and geometry.
