I’ve been looking for a road bike for months, until I came across this lovely frame as well as a nice Specialized SL5, and I’m still undecided between the two. It says it’s fitted with electronic Ultegra, and these wheels look quite expensive to me. As I’m not too knowledgeable about this sort of thing, do you think it’s worth it?
Hi, I am new to biking and would like to purchase my first road bike. I don’t know much about it. I understand this is a woman’s bike but I was wondering if there makes a difference for me I am a 5’ 6” man. Also what is the year of this bike? What would be a reasonable price to purchase this at?
I like them and don't want to say goodbye.
I dont even know what to say. I Said ROAD biking Not Expedition?😭
Hell to the yes. Got my front set 2 weeks ago already and forgot I only ordered 1 set instead of 2 haha
Got a new bike and my foot hits the wheel when I turn (I’m clipped in ) what can I do ?
Why aren't there more short guys into cycling? 😢 It's so hard finding a bike that's the right size for me, and it doesn't help that I'm a short guy.
Most bikes I find are size 52 or larger, but my ideal size is supposedly a 49 or 50. I found my dream bike for $1,300, but it's one size too big. I know it's possible to swap the frame, but I need to do more research before considering that.
Can anyone else relate? 😔 I guess I'll keep looking, but would it really be that bad if I rode a bike that's one size too big?
Other than a really bad automobile accident or doing something really dumb, has anyone ever damaged an aluminum frame from wear and tear to the point it’s unusable? Thinking about moving from steel to aluminum soon.

Recently picked up a vintage bicycle tax tag and tied it to the back. Makes a nice jingling sound as I skip over South London’s iconic potholes.
Got this after i crashed my BMC timemachine road from insurance
My bike is BMC SLR01 2013
Hi everyone,
I came across this listing in Boston. Is this a good deal for a first bike ? I am looking to train for triathlons in the coming years and I am 6’3” tall.

Thanks in advance!
Hey, I recently got my first roadbike (Cube Attain GTC SL Grey 2022). It has a carbon frame and aluminum wheels (Fulcrum Racing 77 DB) with disc brakes. I want to upgrade the wheels to carbon.
I keep seeing this Superteam ad and from the little I know about carbon wheels - a really good price - and quite positive reviews on facebook.
Are these wheels any good? I don't need anything fancy. I am just wondering about quality and safety. Or maybe if there are any compatibility issues I should know about. I am really new to this.
Bike photos for reference. Frame size is 60 (EU).
Thanks!
Not the best photo BUT I pulled the trigger on a SAVA bike. Personally, I had a great experience with customer service. I had accidentally purchased a white frame when I wanted black, emailed SAVA, got a response and order edit in the same night.
I am new to road cycling (I usually ride ss) and this was the best bang for my buck on something light. Took it to a shop for assembly and got the wheels trued. Overall, pretty excited for this ride!
Hello; stupid question I'm sure... I have a contend SL1 with caliper brakes. I have to deflate my front wheel to slip through the brakes even when I open up the caliper with the little toggle on its side. For transportation it is a pain since I have to remove the front wheel to insert my bike on my rooftop rack (flip toggle, deflate, remove wheel, drive to destination, insert wheel, inflate, close brake toggle). Am I doing something wrong? It's the same with my SOs bicycle and I don't get it. Flipping the toggle gives us some wiggle room but not enough to pass an inflated tire through. Its no big deal but take me a couple minutes each time and I'd love to know if there's a way around it? Thanks!
I bought an X-Lab RS5 online. Used their sizing guide.
The thing came and the seat post won’t lower to minimum height due to the bend in the frame. Now I am on the hook for return shipping to the online bike shop I bought it from.
Would strongly advise against buying one of these if you don’t get to try it in store.
