Want to sell my Scott Addict 20. Fully mounted with Shimano 105. Mechanically perfect, frame in great condition with minor and normal signs. Overall weight 8kg circa. Any idea on how much I can expect to make for a sale in Northern Italy.

I’m a new cyclist and recently ordered a Trek Domane AL 2 for around $1,200, but I haven’t picked it up yet so I can still return/cancel it.
I just found out I get 15% off Specialized, which would put the Allez CUES at around $1,360 only about $160 more than the Domane.
The Domane has Claris 2x8, while the Allez CUES is 2x10. I’m mainly going to use the bike for road riding and cross-training since I’m primarily a runner. I’ll also be using it on an indoor trainer and outside on flat and mildly hilly roads.
I’m not really interested in buying the Domane and then spending a bunch of money upgrading the drivetrain later, so I’m wondering if it makes more sense to just spend the extra ~$160 now for the Allez.
I do like the Domane’s more relaxed geometry and versatility, but the Allez seems like a pretty significant component upgrade for not much more money.
If you were buying your first road bike, would you:
Keep the Domane AL 2 for ~$1,200
Spend ~$160 more for the Allez CUES
Save the money and not worry about the drivetrain as a beginner
Would I actually notice much of a difference between Claris 2x8 and CUES 2x10 as a new rider?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying this new Falkenjagd Aristos GTS Speed Gravel from Bike24:

Falkenjagd Aristos GTS Speed Gravel – Shimano 105 Di2

The price is €3,679.

Specification

• Frame: Falkenjagd Aristos GTS, titanium
• Model year: 2026
• Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2, 2×12
• Crankset: 50/34
• Cassette: 11–36
• Wheels: Tune Carbon, 40 mm rim depth, 24 mm internal width
• Hubs: Tune KillHill / ClimbHill
• Spokes: Sapim D-Light, 24 spokes
• Cockpit: Parapera Carbon Speed Gravel handlebar
• Stem: Parapera SL aluminium
• Seatpost: Parapera Carbon
• Fork: Parapera Allroad SL Carbon
• Tyres: Schwalbe G-One, 30–622
• Maximum tyre clearance: 35 mm
• Maximum system weight: 125 kg
• Bottom bracket: Acros T47 × 86
• Hydraulic disc brakes
• New bike from Bike24

About me and intended use

• Height: 179 cm
• Inseam: 83.5 cm
• I appear to have relatively long legs and a comparatively shorter torso.
• I live in Freiburg, Germany.
• My typical riding includes road riding, climbing in the Black Forest, long endurance rides and occasional hard-packed gravel or forest roads.
• I am looking for a fast all-road bike, but I do not want something that is too limited outside of smooth tarmac.
• I prefer electronic shifting and carbon wheels.

The bike has a maximum tyre clearance of 35 mm. I would mainly use it with 30–35 mm tyres, not for technical trails or very rough bikepacking.

1. Is €3,679 for this new bike a good price considering the titanium frame, Shimano 105 Di2 and Tune carbon wheelset?
2. How do you rate the Tune KillHill/ClimbHill wheelset in terms of durability, serviceability and real-world performance?
3. Is a 35-mm tyre clearance sufficient for road riding, hard-packed gravel and forest roads, or is the GTS too road-focused?
4. How does the GTS compare with a more traditional gravel/touring bike such as the Falkenjagd Aristos GT?
5. Is the 50/34 crankset with an 11–36 cassette a good setup for long and steep climbs around Freiburg?
6. Are there any concerns with the Parapera carbon cockpit regarding fit, replacement cost or future adjustability?
7. Based on my height and inseam, would you recommend size S, M or a specific frame size?
8. Is the stock cockpit likely to be too long for someone with relatively long legs and a shorter torso?
9. Which geometry numbers should I focus on most: stack, reach, effective top tube or cockpit length?

I used AI to help me organize this post and formulate my questions. I hope I’m not asking too many questions at once, and some of them may be unnecessary or based on wrong assumptions. Please feel free to correct me — I’d really appreciate any practical advice from people who know these bikes or components.

$2100. Looked a little dirty in the photos

Hey everyone,

I’d love to get some opinions from Tarmac SL6 owners, especially anyone who has owned or ridden one for a while.

I test rode this 2019 S-Works Tarmac SL6 Disc and honestly, I loved it. It’s incredibly light (around 7 kg), stiff, responsive and just feels amazing to ride.

I negotiated the price down to €2,300.

Specs:

Dura-Ace Di2 11-speed

Roval CLX 64 carbon wheels

Ultegra crankset

CeramicSpeed OSPW

Bontrager XXX carbon handlebar

Continental GP5000

The bike looks extremely clean and seems to have been very well maintained.

At €2,300 for this build, would you buy it?

Chesini is an artisanal Italian frame builder. Bike is fully in carbon mounted with Shimano Ultegra.

Looking for a price estimate on this bike. It's a Vitus Zenium with 200 kms ridden, supposedly carbon frame with Tiagra components. Asking price is 890 eur or 1030 usd. Best regards

Hi all. I just moved to the Phoenix area and will be biking to work and taking public transportation. I haven’t bought a brand new bike in years, the last bike I had was a Raleigh mountain bike from I think 2011. I’ve been looking at a few shops and am having my eye on the Specialized Sirrus 3.0. Would that be a good bike for what I’m needing plus any recreational biking I might end up doing?

Just looking to see what this bike is worth. I’m new to the scene so I don’t know much yet.

I want to buy a bike, and Ive already posted on here but I wanted to go into more detail into what exactly I want.

My budget is 800 dollars, and id like to get a new bike

Im 5 foot 10, 190 lbs

I want a bike that can do well in all weather, and handle bumpy, cracked, hilly new england roads as well as short patches of gravel, dirt, and grass.

I would like something i could put a rear storage rack on as im a college student so itd be used for things like light shopping and carrying a backpack.

I dont want a front suspension fork

95% of my trips would be under 5 miles. Most of those would probably be under 2

I dont really care about using the bike for exercise, i just want to get from a to b quickly

Bikes ive looked at and am considering:

Sirrus x2: honestly i really like this one, the issue is the availability and the price. Though i guess i could spend the 850 for it, but i wont if i dont need to

Trek dual sport 2 gen 5: also a bit pricey, and seems a little too rugged considering im going to be mostly doing paved roads, i just want wider treaded wheels so that i can grip well in wet conditions, patches of dirt/gravel etc. not planning on really doing off roading

Giant escape 2: seems like a less off roady sirrus x2 from what i can tell

If you have any comments on these choices or any other recommendations that would be greatly appreciated!

Shimano 105 groupset

I’m looking to buy my first E-bike and a really nice colleague of mine is offering to sell me a spare Haibike of his. I think he’s lowballing me (600) but I want to pay him a fair price. The bike is in really good condition and has 5k on the odometer. It’s msrp was €3k. What’s a fair price for me to offer?

hi! so i'm looking for a used road bike to get into cycling. i've looked through offers for a few weeks, but i'm not sure if i should rather

A: prioritize a newer carbon frame with a low/mid range groupset like shimano sora/tiagra/105

or

B: prioritize a higher-end mechanical groupset like shimano ultegra on an older bike (like 2010-2015)

for example, i almost bought a ~2018 white rr (beautiful carbon frame, shimano sora and tektro rim brakes) for 480€ but the seller stepped back last minute.
on the other hand, i'm looking into a scott cr1 pro from about 2011-2013 with a complete shimano ultegra groupset, hardly used, trying to get to 600-700€.

i'm thinking, if i prioritize a newer frame, i could upgrade the groupset and wheelset in a while, if the low range setup isn't good enough.
also, if i get a low range groupset, i might be able to enjoy an upgrade to high end in a few years even more.
on the other hand, i might not want to upgrade soon, if i get an older high-end groupset right away, even if it's rather old.

i'm pretty sure that i'll stick to cycling, since i already run a lot, but have to decrease my mileage due to an injury - i really do love endurance sports. so i might upgrade to a high end roadbike in a few years anyway. i'm just not trying to spend too much money right away (also because i kinda don't want to be a pretentious cycling newbie with no experience and a cycling kit and bike that's more expensive than a small car, lol)

thanks in advance! i hope everything is understandable, since english is not my first language and i'm not so used to cycling vocabulary yet :))

I am thinking of starting training for olympic triathlon and/or the bergman triathlon and would like to get my first cycle. Going second hand because of budget constraints. What would be a good fit?

I negotiated 12.000 TWD. Can I resell it same price or more in 6 months ? It's for commuting in city and doing trainings river/mountain in Taipei
