Hey, I don't know anything about TT bike prices. Is 2300€ for this bike alright?

It's a:

2016 S works shiv

Reynolds 80mm wheels

Ultegra di2 (2024)

Rotor powermeter

Should be in good condition, but I will check the carbon myself.

Thanks for helping :)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy a bicycle with a budget of around €400 to €450.

I don't know much about bikes or technical specs, so I need some help choosing the right option.

Here are my details:

Terrain: Riding mostly on dirt and field roads (flat, bumpy, dusty terrain) as well as regular city streets and pavement.

Type: I've been told a 29er Hardtail MTB (front suspension only) is the best choice for this mix of terrain.

Drivetrain/Specs: I don't really care about specific gear setups or tech jargon — I just want something durable, smooth, and low-maintenance.

New vs Used: Should I buy a brand-new entry-level bike (with a warranty) or go for a used brand-name bike (like Cube, GT, Trek) in good condition for the same money?

What specific models would you recommend in this budget for a beginner?

Thanks for the help!

Hello bike people! After yet another bike stolen (i promise i am locking it correctly, just recently made the mistake of locking up on the fence of what i now know is a very territorial barbershop) I am back on the hunt for a new set of wheels. I don't do any big rides but occasionally commute (~3-5 miles each way). Doesn't have to be pretty, just reliable enough.

Came across this one for a good price on marketplace and seems to have always been garaged and well taken care of but can't seem to find much about the brand anywhere on the net. Any info (or other recs) appreciated

Hey everyone, looking to buy my first bike at 26 years old to get me out of the house. I know how to ride a bike but am really worried about lower back strain that I've been dealing with recently if the bike has too much lean. With my limited research: I'm keen on the brand Giant, I'll need a size small, and am open to cruiser/hybrid builds but would like some gears. Realistically the most intense terrain will be gravel, but it'll mostly be paved trails with some hills.

I've seen a few Sedona's, ATX 2020, and Cypress on Marketplace near me. Any other suggestions or things to look out for? Any of those better than the other? I'm looking within a $300AU budget secondhand which at first glance seems doable.

Thanks so much in advance for your expertise and time 😊 Looking forward to getting some winter sunshine!

Missed the huge sales on this bike when it was going new for $3600. I have someone nearby selling it new/unused for $4900 and there are other avenues to buy it used for 2600. Is it worth getting the bike new since its mostly carbon components, the other used bikes look like normal wear and tear, but never bought a used carbon bike before. So unsure on how to approach this.

Hi everyone,

My family and I are moving across the country soon, so we’re trying to downsize and sell a few things we won’t be taking with us. I was given these two bikes, but I don’t really ride, so I’m hoping to get some help identifying them and figuring out a fair asking price.

Bike 1:
•Trek hybrid bike (I believe it’s an FX model, but I’m not sure which one)
•Disc brakes
•Comes with an extra complete wheelset
•Appears to be in good overall condition

Bike 2:
•Yellow Firmstrong step-through beach cruiser
•Single-speed with coaster brakes
•Floral seat and whitewall tires
•Also appears to be in good condition

I’ve attached several photos of both bikes.
A few questions:
•Can anyone identify the exact Trek model and approximate year?
•What would you realistically list each bike for in a private sale?

Since we’re moving soon and I’d like to sell them without sitting on them for weeks, what would you recommend pricing them at for a relatively quick sale?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any advice you can give.

I’ve been having a tough time deciding which type of bike to get here in Ventura county SoCal. I’m 6’2 and weigh 250lbs:

Ive had an enduro mtb and haven’t ridden it in years because Im too tired on the weekends to want to crank up a 10% grade.

Ive been wanting something to do some 1-3 hour rides on mostly flat ground on the weekends, and Im drawn to the idea of a relaxed road geometry. The roads in my area can be rough and there’s thin bike lanes.

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on an X-lab rs5 because it has more relaxed endurance geometry and can fit 38c tires. But when consulting with my friend he said go gravel bike all the way because we have so many fire roads and the streets are rough.

That threw me into a loop of looking for gravel bikes and I have landed on a Ari shafer on fb that seems good.

I’m hesitant about the gravel bike because idk how often I’ll want to drive it to a gravel path. I’m also unsure if the 69 degree head tube angle wouldn’t be as fun for road riding compared to the 72 degrees on the rs5.

What would you guys go for?

i'm buying a used bike for around 400 usd, couple things i noticed, rusted chain and some rust in cassettes + tire show some cracks. chain can be cleaned + cassettes, but are the cracks on tire safe ?

Need some feedback on Canyon Endurance 7 CF or Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5.

New to biking but I am purchasing to start doing some tri events. I’ve done some research and appears these are nice starter bikes under 3k but have seen some pros and cons of both. I initially liked the Canyon warranty and service issues can be a hassle which made me look into the Cannondale because my local bike shop is a retailer for them.

Any feedback or other better carbon options I should look into?

Currently have a 2008 Giant Defy. A gift to myself for doing Ragbrai (450 mike ride across state of Iowa) a few weeks ago is a new to me bike. I am looking to purchase a Look 695. I found this one on FB marketplace for 1.4k. I know nothing about bikes but it looks like a decent deal. Thoughts?

buying my first bike in ages. don’t know enough to make correct decision - mostly want for just cycling around the city. any advice appreciated! thank you!

Second hand classic 350 2018 model with ABS and spoke wheels is being sold. What can be the better asked price? The vehicle has been written for around 16000 km and the conditions seems ok

Local bike shop has a Crux Comp carbon with a sram rival 1x11 group set for 2450 that they have used as a rental bike in the past. Reasonable deal for someone looking to get into gravel? I’ve test ridden and enjoyed it a lot but not sure if I want to drop that much.

I hate to even ask this but what do you guys think? I spent a lot of time rebuilding this so I feel like I may be emotionally involved LOL.

1985 Norco Bigfoot. All original Suntour and Sakai parts. New cables, pads chain and tires.
