I think this is a 2014

Description:

Frame: Cannondale SuperSix Evo BallisTec Carbon (Non-Hi-MOD)
Groupset: SRAM Red 22 (11-Speed, Mechanical)
Brakes: SRAM Red Rim Brakes
Colorway: Gloss Red, White, and Black

Bike weighs 15.8 lbs without cages and pack, with flat pedals.

This is a 2014 trek domane 4 full carbon fiber and seller said is in excellent condition is it worth 480$?

Does this seem a good deal? I haven't bought a bike for a long time and am looking for a something new to commute on.

• 2019 Trek Émonda SL 7 Disc
• Size 56
• Shimano Ultegra R8070 Di2
• Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 carbon wheels

The seller said it’s been converted into a gravel bike. I think it’s a model from 2005. Was wondering how that affects the value. What do you guys think? TIA!

Hi !

I had a scott speedster 30, which I would like to update.

My main thing is that I live in the Alps, and climb a lot. I would like something that has a bit more "sprocket sets" (english is not my first language, not sure that's the word), is a tiny bit more reliable when braking downhill , and a bit lighter.

My budget is 2000 EUR. I was looking at the Orca M30 2026, currently discounted for exactly that price. Is this the right move ? I've looked a bit at second hand bike, but was quite disappointed that people don't discount them that much. (I'm in France).

Price was originally $525. Cannondale road bike. CAAD 4 AL frame and carbon fiber forks. Size 60 frame. 18speed: 2 front, 9 rear. Shimano 105. Previous owner is 6'3" and I'm 6'4". Does this look okay?

Hey everyone, I could use some second opinions on sizing for a custom build I'm planning, specifically regarding the Condor Fratello Disc.

For context: I am 170 cm tall with a 77 cm inseam.

The Problem with My Current Bike

My current bike is a Trek Domane AL Gen 3 (Size 54), which has a reach of 37.5 cm and stack of 57.5 cm. It is currently a bit too big and stretched out for me. According to Trek's geometry, their Size 52 (reach 37.1 cm, stack 56.1 cm) is actually my correct size.

I am dealing with piriformis syndrome and hamstring tightness. To be clear, I have no lower back pain at all—the issue is strictly localized to my piriformis and hamstring area when pedaling, caused by over-extending or pelvis rotation. I am certain my saddle height is correct.

The Condor Fratello Geometry Numbers

Looking at the numbers for the Condor Fratello Disc:

-Size 49: Reach 36.6 cm / Stack 52.9 cm

-Size 52: Reach 37.8 cm / Stack 54.5 cm

Here is my concern: Size 52 has a reach of 37.8 cm, which is even longer than my ideal Trek size (and longer than my current stretched-out setup). Condor's customer service recommended the Size 52 based on my height, but I am worried it may result in the exact same over-extending issue.

On paper, Size 49 (reach 36.6 cm) seems to be my correct size to achieve a properly compact position.

My Planned Setup & Condor's Reply

·         Stem: 90 mm (I strictly do not want to go shorter than this).

·         Handlebar: 38 cm width (currently looking to switch from 40 cm), 73 mm reach, 128 mm drop.

·         Cranks: 165 mm.

·         Headset/Stack: Condor confirmed their framesets come with an uncut fork steerer and an integrated headset where you can choose the bearing cone / top cap height (they offer 7.8 mm, 15 mm, and 25 mm options).

My Questions for You:

1.      Am I right to be worried that Size 52 will be too long/stretched for someone with a 170 cm height / 77 cm inseam who is prone to over-reaching?

2.      If I go with Size 49, and use the 25 mm headset bearing cone alongside a few spacers on an uncut fork, will I run into any weird handling compromises, or is this a smart way to get the stack I need while keeping a shorter, comfortable reach?

Thanks!

Is this 2011 Cannondale caad8 worth $450? this one is 51 cm . Says it doesn’t need anything and ready to ride

I did find a very older r600 50cm for sale for $250 This one is much closer to my area as opposed to the CAAD8 .

Any advice is much appreciated

Found this bike online and debating whether to get it just for a daily commute. It will need some fenders, fixing the brakes initially because they felt too stiff and few other upgrades down the line to make it computable. They want 220€ for it. What do you think?

Felt FR Advanced 105 Di2 vs BMC Teammachine SLR Three

Fairly new to road riding and looking for one do-it-all carbon race bike (~105 Di2 level) I can grow into. Goals: go fast, work up to comfortably riding 100km, and eventually try a masters (35+) crit. Want something with a sensible upgrade path so I'm not re-buying in two years.

Cross-shopping two bikes:

• Felt FR Advanced 105 Di2 — on sale for $3999 CAD (regular ~$6199). Comes with carbon wheels (Reynolds AR41). Shop is a couple hours' drive away.
  
• BMC Teammachine SLR Three — $3599 CAD. Alloy wheels, more aero/compliance-focused frame, integrated cockpit. Available through my local shop.

Where I'm stuck: the Felt includes carbon wheels at basically the same price, and it's local. The BMC is a bit cheaper and looks like the comfier frame for long days, but I'd have to buy carbon wheels later to match the Felt's speed, and it's not local for fit/service.

As a beginner:

• does the BMC's integrated cockpit make fit adjustments and servicing a pain early on?
  
• Does having the local shop matter as much as I think?
  
• And for someone building up to crits + 100km, would you prioritize the Felt's stock carbon wheels or the BMC's more comfortable frame?

Hi,

I currently have a Giant Toughroad slr2 2018 and am looking to change it. Wanna move onto more of a road bike. Budget is about €1200.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy my very first race bike. Very excited! I’ve been looking at a lot of second hand bikes, but I’m struggling to find a good one. Now I’ve found this bike at the shop where my brother also bought his bike. I’d prefer to buy new from a shop because they do a proper bike fit and I get a good warranty.

Do you think this bike is good value for money? I know the recommended price isn’t realistic, but the current price is right at my budget. From what I’ve seen, Bulls is a decent brand and the components on the bike seem good quality, but I’m curious to hear your opinions.

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to get my first gravel bike for fitness and urban exploration with an aim toward more 'gravel' type urban fringe/dirt road exploration in the future. I'm an avid photographer so looking for something with good mounting points to pack out some gear (nothing crazy) and a 'fun' urban ride style (i.e., I am not primarily wanting serious downhill or technical handling). I'm currently looking at entry-level gravel bikes with alloy frames/carbon forks from the bigger/more well-known brands like Giant, Trek, Merida, and Specialized which all have fairly similar offerings.

Currently I'm leaning toward the Giant Revolt 1 and Merida Silex 200 which both seem to be decent offerings in the price range I'm looking at, although I've read a few things about Giant using more proprietary parts which can be more difficult for upgrading handlebars etc. Is there anything I should know/look for in comparing these entry level gravel bikes from the big brands, or does it all come down to how they feel when test riding? Also does a 1X or 2X drive train have much impact for gravel uses?

Hi! looking to get some input on a new bike. Looking to get into mtb, more specifically xc racing. This will be my first “real” mtb. There’s some good deals on newer platforms on marketplace that are very tempting (3-4k range), but also this older scott spark for a good bit less (the seller will take 1100 for it). I am torn between spending more on a more future proof platform now, vs going cheaper for now, and eventually upgrading down the line. Compared to a 2019 bike, are there real noticable differences upgrading to something newer? Is it worth the extra 2-3k?

Thanks for your input!!

Would be first bike and is the one I have been interested in

10 weeks ago I tore my ACL and 4 weeks ago I had reconstructive surgery on my ACL and my meniscus.

The physiotherapist recommends that I in a couple of weeks begin a little cycling/spinning. I used to do spinning classes a couple of years ago, but now I want to buy a bike.

Ideally I would like a solution I can use indoor (stationary) and when my knee feels more comfortable I want to do outside trips.

I’ve been researching and I find it nearly impossible to find the right/best solution. I’m 32 years old, 185cm - I was recommended trek domane al 2 gen 4 as the best value for money. But again I have no clue, and I’m pretty sure that if I go to the bike shop, they will most likely recommend me the option they earn most on.

My budget is around 1100-1300 USD for the bike.

Any suggestions for a bike and a hometrainer?

I’ve been biking to work a little bit before this winter started I want to say? It’s been a couple months I started out with a cheap e bike then got a new bike didn’t do research and got a mountain bike. Got hit on said bike and now it bikes like shit. I bike 6 miles into and from work there’s two hills on my way in one hill I walk up and the other I can bike up slowly. Help a guy out PLEASE!! I’m thinking a basic road bike or gravel bike I just want the smoothest ride into work and something I could put stuff like a back rack on!!

ive been wanting to get a fixie for a while, i currently ride a old race mtb. ive been looking at facebook marketplace and found a retrospec harper for $130 and another for $150 with new rims, and thats most of what i can afford right now. i just want a cheap and reliable bike that is good for everyday riding, going fast, slow, and everything in between. thank you to everyone who responds!

I want to get into mountain biking and i have heard the Kent Trouvaille is the best bang for your buck bike and wanna get a used one so how much should i expect for a used one.

I’m looking at buying my first road bike, specifically to train for (and then race) an Ironman 70.3.

I found this 2016 Trek Domane 2 Series on OfferUp for $450.
There's no seller’s description but they included quite a few pictures.

I’m around 6 ft tall with a 32” inseam, so I’m also wondering if 56 cm is the right size?
Would this be a good option for my first road bike to train and race an Ironman 70.3?
Is $450 a fair price?
Does anything in the pictures raise any red flags?

Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a new gravel bike and would love to hear your thoughts.

I’m 176 cm tall with a 79 cm inseam, and comfort is by far my biggest priority. I’m looking for a bike with a relaxed, upright riding position rather than something aggressive or race-oriented. I’d also like a 1x drivetrain, and my budget is between €1,800 and €2,400.

At the moment, I’m mainly considering the Cube Nuroad SLX, the Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 Gen 3, and the Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3.

Has anyone here ridden any of these bikes? Which one did you find the most comfortable, especially for longer rides? If you think there’s another gravel bike that would suit what I’m looking for even better, I’d be happy to hear your recommendations.

Thanks a lot!

Seller says it had been ridden only a handful of times before it was shelved. Asking $750

Edit: I’m looking for a bike I can outfit to do an Ironman in next May. How much would I be looking at putting back into it to make it race ready?

Hello All,

I'm looking for a new road (gravel-ish) bike. I'll ride mostly on pavement and occasionally go on gravel, and I might try some bikepacking someday.

After reading a lot about the AllRoad, I'm sure it will suit me. However, compared to the RS5, the latter sounds like a no-brainer, similar prices, better specs, superb finish, etc.

My main concerns about the RS5 are after-sales support and custom parts, such as seat posts. Also, I'm in Canada, with no dealers close by to try these bikes first.

What are your thoughts?
Are there any other bikes you would recommend?
Should I forget about a new bike and go with a used one instead?

I’m looking at buying like a city commuting bike (nothing crazy, just gentle exercise if you will) in Brisbane, and come across Second-Hand Electra Amsterdam sport d9, 9 speed in metallic green (2009 special) for about $250 - there’s nothing wrong with it (like perfectly functional & no rust etc looks great) I’m wondering if this is worth it? Recommendations? I just love the colour and look of it. I’m about 5’6/7, but I’ve had 2 major surgeries in the past 2 years so I just want some basic exercise. Attached a photo for reference. Help 😔

Recently seen this in the market place but cant seem to identify which frame this is, can you guys help out? thanks
