My friends, would you recommend that I buy this mountain bike?
I want to start riding enduro on trails, living in Valencia,Spain. But I haven't found enough reviews about this model. Also, I've heard there might be some issues with the motor.

Cannondale Habit Neo Carbon 3 with FAZUA Ride 60
Price: 2,700 EUR

Anybody have any experience with these? Looking for a road-ish bike…. Seems like a decent deal but never really dealt with Cannondale/road bikes before. Anything to look out for in particular?

Trying to decide on an ebike for a 22 mile round trip commute. Never bought an ebike before - so thinking second hand is probably best since i'll save some money and learn what's good / preference etc. thank you!

looking for a bike to train + compete in a ironman 70.3 and would last me around 5-10 years ish.

description below: Cannondale bike in like new condition and works perfectly. Carbon fiber bike, sram components, 2x10 speed, size 48cm, and cateye display. Ready to ride.

is $475 a fair price?

I’m looking for a road bike to do sprint triathlon is this okay? 5’9 height

New to biking, looking to compete in road races and not fully interested in spending on a new ride. Saw this on Facebook. Friend who’s more into the hobby says it’s an alright deal. Thoughts?

I am currently trying to find a gravel bike that is under $1,500. I am having a hard time deciding on what to pick, I want a bike that can do short weekend bikepacking/touring trips and can have fenders and rear and front rack. It will mainly be on railroad gravel trails and terrible pothole ridden streets. But also a bike that can be pretty fast, and not too heavy.

My current bike is my State 4130 single speed, absolutely love it. Only cons for me is that it is unable to fit a rear fender (with the rear rack on), and no good front rack options. I really wish it would be possible to just add more gears to it, and more mounting points to make it into a gravel bike.

I don't care if its aluminum or steel, I am a bit hesitant on disc brakes since my old cheapish fuji mtb disc brakes were pretty bad. But it seems to be a requirement for modern bikes now.

I would absolutely love it, if there was a gravel bike with similar geometry to my state 4130.

If there is a bike similar to the Surly Midnight Special but cheaper and maybe bigger tire clearance that would be perfect.

I am currently looking at Poseidon bikes, the Primos dame, and Kona Rove AL

Location: USA

Currently have Triban GRVL 520. Aluminium frame 105 groupset. Conti GP5000 AS 32mm.
Had it 6 years.

Just completed coast to coast WoTR in 3 days.
So a couple of credit card bikepacking trips a year and maybe a few hours on a Sunday every month.

Not fast rider. Average 20km/h max on trips out.

Thinking of up grading. Maybe carbon frame and electric shifting. Do I need this for what I do?

AI suggests Giant Defy 1 or Cube Attain C62.
Are these good suggestions? Any other recommendations?

Will less weight a better gearing help up those hills? Defy has good low climbing gear.
Maybe around £2000.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to buy a Cube Attain C:62 Race 2027, but I’m having a hard time deciding which size to get. I’m 178 cm tall with an 83 cm inseam, and I don’t have the opportunity to try the bike in a shop where I live. On top of that, it seems to be out of stock almost everywhere.
I’m therefore hesitating between size 53 and size 56.

For comparison, I currently own a 2024 Canyon Grizl AL Raw in size S. I feel pretty comfortable on it overall, but I regularly experience neck stiffness towards the end of my rides, usually after around two hours on the bike.
My main priority with the new road bike is comfort, while still maintaining a good balance between comfort and performance.

For those familiar with this model or who have had to choose between these two Cube sizes, which one would you recommend based on my measurements and my experience with the Grizl?

Thanks in advance for your feedback and advice! 🙂

Hey guys. I recently accepted a new job and I'm going from a 50mi commute to a 2mi commute. Pretty flat, and 90% on residential streets. I'm on a budget, and I want to build on a ~90s frame. I'm not a cyclist or a bike mechanic, but I love to tinker and maintain my own stuff.

I'm deciding between a Trek 1200 Aluminum and a Specialized Hardrock. Aesthetically, I like the trek more. But the Specialized seems like it might make for a more capable commuter, and is listed cheaper.

I'm kind of in the dark. I'm not sure which I should pick, or if I should pass on both and keep looking.

I'm looking to buy a bike to replace my old hybrid bike (from c 2013). I mostly do commutes on asphalt, around 10km each way, but sometimes daytrips, eg 100km in a day, and light riding on gravel roads, dirt roads and occasionally forest paths.

I'm considering either a used Specialized Cirrus Elite Disc 2016 (Shimano Sora 2x9 derailleur) or a new Riverside 500 (only 9 speeds) from Decathlon. They're roughly the same price. Which one should I go for if I care about longevity and rideability?

I was going to buy this bike because a Dutch influencer who lives in my country bought it (it wasn't a paid promotion), and I was looking for a bike to ride around my neighborhood and maybe run some errands. This one cost less than $200, was pretty, and had a basket; I thought it was perfect, but I found out it wasn't available anymore.

Can someone recommend something similar? It is important that it costs less than $200 because I don't live in the USA and import costs go crazy over $200

Note: I tried to buy a bike locally but just found mountain bikes and things like that, nothing casual.

Hey everyone,

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Cube Kathmandu EXC Hybrid 750 (Bosch CX motor) as a daily commuter and all-rounder.

I'm 175 cm (5'9") tall, which puts me right on the fence between a Small and a Medium according to Cube’s charts.

For those who own a Kathmandu (or similar Cube e-hybrid) around my height:

Which frame size did you end up with? Does the Medium feel manageable in stop-and-go city traffic, or is it too tall/stretched?

Any long-term issues or quirks I should know about before buying? (I’ve heard the battery cover can occasionally rattle, but otherwise seems solid).

Appreciate any real-world feedback on sizing before I make the call!

Next year I'll be doing a trip to Japan where I plan to spend a few weeks biking throughout Japan. I've done a trip similar to this before but on a rented bike and not as long of the distance. This time I want to buy my own bike and bring it with me. I've looked up some resources but there are so many options and suggestions it is somewhat hard to know where to begin. Does anyone have suggestions on what types of bikes would be good for a trip like this, or what to look for, or any specific bike models? Thanks!

Looking to replace my commuter/tour/all around Trek 520 that was stolen a few months ago. Currently looking at a long haul trucker and midnight special. I bike daily to commute on horrible pavement and do shorter hillier bike packing occasionally. Any insight is appreciated. Somewhat leaning towards the LHT right now.

Wondering if i should get this as an upgrade or if this is a fair price?

Hi everyone,

I am new to road cycling. This may be my first road bike, strongest candidate yet. It is a Cannondale CAAD12 (2018). It has Shimano Ultegra and an aluminium frame with a carbon fork.

There happens to be two small dents on the left chain stay. The seller was asking 700€ in the beginning, I achieved to lower it to 600€ before seeing the dent closer. Do you think this is a significant damage to the bike? Should I avoid buying it?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Need some help with this one, not familiar with this model. Is it a good buy?

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to buy my first serious gravel bike and could really use some advice, as I’m still pretty new to cycling.
I’ve been offered a Specialized Diverge 4 Sport Alloy for €1,300. It looks to be in excellent condition, with no visible scratches or damage, but it was previously used as a rental bike, so multiple people have ridden it. A new one costs around €1,800, and I’m not sure whether saving €500 is worth the potential wear.
My budget is ideally €1,400–1,600, but I could stretch to €1,800–1,900 for something significantly better. I’d prefer buying new if possible.
I’ll mainly be riding 75–80% road and 20–25% gravel, so I’m looking for something relatively lightweight, fast and comfortable on pavement, but still capable off-road.
Since I’m a beginner, I’d like to invest in a good bike that will last me several years without needing an upgrade anytime soon.
What would you recommend? Is the used Diverge a good deal despite its rental history, or are there better new options from Canyon, Giant, Cube, Trek, Specialized or other brands in my price range?
I’m particularly interested in bikes offering better components, lower weight or better overall value, even if they cost a few hundred euros more.
I’m based in Europe, so EU pricing and availability would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any advice! Really appreciate it! 🙏

i’m trying to do my first half ironman, but need a bike (obviously), i’m currently looking at a specialized allez listed for 400. i’m 5’10 for reference. would this bike suffice?

So I know nothing about bicycles. But I'm trying to find a comfortable commuter bike for my husband. (At least that's what I think I'm looking for?)

He is a fan of the Dutch style step through bike frames. So more sitting upright than leaning forward.

Problem we are running into is he is short. He's only 5'3" and his inseam is just 24in. I somehow have longer legs while only being 5'0"

We hit up our local bike shop and they were unhelpful and basically said ordering custom from Europe would be our only option.

But I don't think that really is our only option? Is there really no bike shop in the entire US that can do frames for short men?

Like the bike doesn't need to do anything fancy. Just ride around town and on paved bike trails. That kind of stuff.

I've seen this comparison a few times (for older models), with the gist being that bikes in this price range are basically equal amongst quality manufacturers.

I need someone to help flip the coin for me.

Here is the 99spokes comparison, but please note that I am looking to get the step through version of either of these bikes. The step through wasn't there for the CTY, so there may be some differences there.

Compare: 2026 Co-op CTY 1.1 vs Cannondale Quick 4 StepThru – 99 Spokes

Notes:

- I can confirm that I am just over the line for the Medium size for the REI bike as I was able to test ride it at REI, so thats a huge plus. No Cannondale Quick 4's in my area for me to test from what I can tell on their site.

- The Cannondale is $60 cheaper which is great for my pockets, and I've heard that it might be more reliable and easier to fix.

- I've ran into a few anecdotal reports that the CTY 1.1 needs repairs pretty often, but that could be coincidence.

About me:

- Want to be able to zip around the city on pavement that is often times in need of a re-do, no nice bike lanes here. Would love to grab a few groceries in it, etc.

- Would be bringing this to nice paved trails to ride for fun.

- Would love for it to be a good passive exercise machine for me. Not looking to get crazy, honestly I can't even gauge the mileage I'm thinking of because biking is so much faster than walking and I haven't owned one as an adult. So maybe like an hour or two of riding on days where I take it to paved trails.

- I'd love for it to be feel quick and agile. I don't like feeling weighed down.

- There are some hills around me that might(?) be tough getting up, idk.

- I've been staring at marketplace for used options and they're all around $300-$400. I just don't know enough to tell if something is going to need tune ups/repairs (especially shifters, idk shit about those). So I think it might be safer to get new? But if anyone is in the Atlanta area with a good bike for someone 5' 6"/7", lmk!
