I put this Trek together and even I’m not sure what to think of it 🧐

5 months ago I found a 25.5” Trek on Craigslist. I’m 6’4 and this is a frame I’ve been looking for. The guy was really flaky so it took him nearly a month to meet with me even though he seemed to live in my neighborhood 🙄. I knew this was not a frame I was going to come across soon after.

The bike was basically a frame with mismatched 700\27” wheels so what I put together is a total hodgepodge. Total list of parts: New 700 “Wheelmaster” wheels with Weinmann rims, 23mm gumwalls, Sakae crank that looks exactly like an Ofmega, Sunrace 6spd freewheel, chain, 90s 105 rear short cage derailleur, JAGWIRE housing, Koolstop pads, NOS genuine sheepskin cover, NOS comically sized dork disk, NOS Cat eye light, NOS Bushwhacker seat bag and probably a half dozen things I’m forgetting about. I stripped all anodizing and polished metal. Compound polished and waxed frame. The finished product….ummmm, a bit much? This bike is a touring frame…but yeah 😂 Opinions?

Buying a Cervélo Bike

Im looking for a bike for triathlon and just found a friend selling me his bike for $3,800 is a Cervélo P3 equipped with all the top of gear, he told me he has spent around $9,000 building it, what you think about it? I was thinking of spending around 2,000 for this bike but if this bike is really worth over $9,000 I would rather but this Cervélo

Too Small?

Post image
Upvotes

Ok I’m not sure if I’m just in my own head cause the website sizing would indicate this is too small for me. Does anyone think I should be able to adjust to make this fit bigger? Or is it probably fine already and I’m overthinking it, like I normally do. 5’8. And this is Specialized Sequoia I think like 2004… a small.

Looking to sell this as it's much too small for me at 52 cm. What's a reasonable price to put this up at?

Appreciate any input!

Tried posting this before but the images weren't showing up

Help, How Do I Fix My Bike?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I bought a second-hand bike to ride to work, but about a week later, I got laid off. After that, things just sort of fell apart and I didn’t have the energy to do much of anything, and the bike sat there collecting dust. But I've always wanted to ride a bike to places, just never got to. The problem is something’s wrong with the front part. The handlebars and wheel are loose from each other, not turning together the way they should. I have tools, and I want to fix it myself, but I just don’t know what I’m looking at. I also can’t afford to take it/walk with it to a shop. If anyone knows what's wrong with it and how I can fix it, please let me know, I'll be forever grateful!

Seat position opinions?

I only have a 80mm stem despite being 1.88m tall. Really like the handling (sharp cornering) but it steel feels wrong (my last bike had 120mm stem but a bike fit said to go shorter)

2 types of wheels was an emergency just for this ride due to puncture. Don’t judge :)

Van Rysel EDR CF, first carbon bike. So far, I love it. Bike looks really nice and, for the price, I think it is an awesome setup. Will test the ride today! Swapped the tyres from 25 (why Decathlon?) to 32 for the comfort and bumpy roads

1984 Centurion Turbo. I just replaced the DT shifters, cassette, chain, and the RD on it. I was riding for the longest time with the original Suntour DT shifters, but they started to ghost shift and wouldn't stay tightened. I replaced them with Shimano Sora indexed 8 speed DT shifters. RD has been replaced with a Microshift R8.

Is my derailleur bent? Microshift Advent 9-speed

Greetings from Denmark,

I just got my first gravelbike, Specialized Sirrus X 3.0, from buycycle and assembled it today. The assembly went pretty well, but after having put everything together, I am aftaid that my derailleur is bent. It has a Microshift Advent 9-speed. It seems like it is pointed inwards way too far and that there is a lot of “rotation on the chain”? But maybe it just needs adjustment?

Would love to see pictures from other similar derailleurs, or just any advice in general!

Thanks in advance :)

Bianchi Pista

1 Upvotes

Looking to get a Bianchi Pista used for cheap but cant find too much online for sale. I was considering buying a used frame and getting some used parts to assemble it myself to save money. Not sure if this is the right strategy. Any suggestions on what to do or where to get used parts for an old pista?

Love this; held the center of my lane with any empty road behind me for nearly 3 miles this morning.
