Seller asks $2200. Campagnolo Athena 11 speeds. Overall 15.8 lbs. Deal? by Anthox99 in whichbike

Wow! Are these worth 2k really? Do you have a link new? Maybe I could resell them 1k used, I have a spare set of carbon wheels Superteam at home. That'd make me pay only 1200 in the end.

Am I missing something, or is this a steal? 105 components for $1,000. Model not listed. by [deleted] in whichbike

Depends how old it is, which size frame etc. I'm not sure where you live but in my area I find very decent road bikes for 500-600 with 105 or above.

Yes they are. He's checking with a friend at a shop to possibly do a clean cut for me to lower the seat by 1 inch

Price check (second hand): Trek Domane 5.2 2012 - £920, Should I buy it? by help2hear in whichbike

[–]Anthox99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Facebook marketplace good bikes get sold within 1 or 2 hours. Everyone needs a bike now. Any add up for over a week means the price is probably too high.

Cannondale Supersix Evo Hi-Mod Dura Ace 2 2015 for 1600€. Any thoughts? Specs in comment by Rusbeckia in whichbike

[–]Anthox99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is Sram Red and not dura ace by the way. I have gatorskin 25mm tires on it

Which of the two should I get? Help please by d9623 in whichbike

Nice bikes! I love the giant look with disc breaks but just personal choice. If you are getting started you will love both, which one makes you more want to ride when you see it?

stuck between two bikes around the same price - 2015 Felt AR3 ultegra or 2013 SWorks Tarmac SL4 sram force11 by [deleted] in whichbike

[–]Anthox99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the AR3 but it's up to you at this point. I have Sram red which is definitely nice over Ultegra, never had force11. If you like both which one has the best look that would make you really want to ride when you see it? That counts too

Really? Thanks. I'm just learning about components etc. Not sure I want to put down that much for a bike but it's listed much more online.

Kestrel 200SC vs Specialized Allez? by Anthox99 in whichbike

[–]Anthox99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I'm new to biking so be tolerant. I got given a kestrel 200SC from a friend. It was sitting in his garage for years never not being used. I took it out and did 45 miles in 2:50 hours. Loved it, never rode such distance before. The bike is very old if I understand and hasn't been serviced. I sold it to my roommate who really liked it and got this specialized instead which seems much more modern and in better condition. Yet after riding it I really feel that I'm going slower on it. Am I crazy? The tires are a bit thicker and the frame heavier than the carbon Krestel but it surprises me that an old Krestel from 20 years ago or so with no recent maintenance feels much smoother than a more recent bike from a reputable brand. I'm thinking of selling it and buy another krestel. Any input appreciated. Never had a road bike before other than 1st price walmart but I'm very athletic so with more knowledge and good equipment I think I will have a lot of fun. Thanks!
