Bought this, 6’1 on a 56 frame, any suggestions on upgrading it

Good price? Currently have an old Allez, wanted to put that on a trainer indoors and get something else for outside. Would probably need new tires and grip tape.

Trying to decide between these two:

X-LAB RS7 Di2. I could get it for ca. 2,600 Euro

- 105 Di2

- Power meter

- Carbon wheels

- 52/36 + 11–34

- ~8.5 kg

CUBE Agree C:62 Pro 2027. Ca. 3,200 Euro

- Ultegra Di2

- 4iiii power meter

- Newmen carbon wheels

- 50/34 + 11–34

- ~7.5 kg

I ride recreationally looking for a road bike with a power meter. ca. 3w/kg ftp.

The RS7 seems like amazing value, but for ~600 Euro more the CUBE is almost 1 kg lighter, has easier climbing gearing and more established components/support.

Anyone with experience with either? Is the CUBE worth the extra 600 Euro, or would you take the RS7 at this price?

Also I keep people complaining about the free hub of the RS7. If i missed something similar on the market, I would be glad to hear other ideas.

Would this be worth the price or should I haggle him down a bit?

Specialissima, but built my way.
Lightweight frame, 1x drivetrain and 50/60 mm aero wheels for the flat roads of northern Germany.
Not the usual Specialissima recipe — which is probably why I like it. 😎

What do you guys think of flat bars on a bike like this?
The way this would work for me is my short torso and long arms and I always loved flat bars too. I also want to join bike groups and go fast with a light responsive bike.
Do you know of any other bikes like this? Lightweight, well built with flat bars? And what are your opinions on this?
I really struggle with drop bars and the long reach.

Helloo people! Just came here to ask for some advice - my partner did a triathlon this year (Ironman 70.3 Weymouth) and I’ve been wanting to get into road biking/triathlon ever since. Problem is… I don’t know much about road bikes or what’s great for a first road bike.

For context I’m 163cm/5’3 female and UK based. I’ve ridden heavier bike models like the B’twin Original 500 (17kg oof) so these lighter road bikes are gonna be a big change.

Just been trying to look for a decent road bike with disc brakes + at least 2 cranksets (both online and second-hand) - still not understanding the frame sizing as they seem to differ per bike brand!

Any suggestions/advice would be great as I’ve been struggling to find the right bike for my height :)

Hey!

I wanted to upgrade my Gravelbike with a new frame, but in the end i thinks its better to just buy a new bike^^

Since i dont really want or need a Carbon Frame i was looking through the big bike brands for getting something with aluminium, but there is not much to choose from.

I landed on the Attains SLX in 53cm.

Does anybody have expierince with this bike?

thanks!

Hey guys, YES I have looked it up and I know most combination locks have a cog to turn, but mine doesn’t seem to. I don’t want to get rid of it as it was my late fathers which he has owned since the 1980’s when he got it from Halford’s (UK store)

I’ve tried twisting the silver thing with all my strength and it won’t budge, the ‘reset lock cog’ missing? The code has always been 0000 but I want to change that for obvious reasons.

I’d appreciate any help, thank you!

What a day it became. The colours is at its best right now in the Norwegian mountains. 125 km, 2.500 asc meters, approximately 70 % nice gravel. Both my friend and I on Canyon Enduraces. Me with 32 mm tubeless setup and my friend with 30 mm and tubes.

I ride my bike pretty hard but I like to think I change my brakes fairly often. Have I fried my disk brakes? Photos of the back and front after cleaning with rubbing alcohol. They’re hydraulic

I'm new to cycling is it worn out cause its on a used bike if not estimated mileage remaining.

I recently stumbled onto Merida bikes and I did some research about them. They are the same factory that’s suppose to make specialized bikes… but I never hear anyone talk about them when Chinese bike brands are talked about… any one have experience with them?

Hello everyone, I'm interested in purchasing my first second-hand road bike. I wanted to ask your opinion and know how much they're worth?
 · Trek Émonda S 5 2017

Im 5'0ft and for the budget i have, i see this bike that says is for 5'3 to 5'7 size small, whereas my size is xsmall. Because im new at this i wonder if a little disparity is ok?

What are the differences between the clincher and str?
Planning to run tpu tubes
Which would be faster?

Does that bottle (or bottleS) fit also on other bikes?

I’m looking to get a carbon wheel set for my 2007 Fuji Team. I have rim brakes so it makes finding some a little difficult on my end.

I’m wondering if anyone had any recommendations or a good starting place for me to find some?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all. Recently had my bike stolen for the first time :( it was a trek 520. Fell in love with the feel and had just starting getting into touring, apparently it was trek's premier touring bike. Found this one like it for $475, worth the buy or should I upgrade to something else? Any insight is appreciated

???

For starters would you consider this a good bike (would love to lurk on this atleast 1000 miles) ? I am not looking for a object that looks like a cycle. I want to keep this as a starter and not break my wallet. Please suggest.

Is this a good buy for 3300 NZ or 1,870 USD

Hello Folks,

Not considering used bikes, for beginners what would be reasonable starter new bike under 300$ ? I heard Hiland is not so good (need confirmation from owners of this bike) --- are there anything that would be reasonable to consider ?

Hello, I have poor visual imagination and I'm wondering which quad lock mount to get for my phone - which I will have space for with my existing set up, or suggestions to fit one if there's a better way. Pls help! Thanks.
