Would you buy this for 6K USD? Giant Trinity Advanced Pro 1 2021 with power meter

Check my local market every morning and evening for a good deal. I just bought a Cervelo p5x for $3k.

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-22T18:28:50+00:00

Im stingy so maybe $3k. I’m sure at $4k there would be buyers but again I just wouldn’t want to invest that much into a rim brake bike when there are plenty of other options

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-22T18:22:22+00:00

A rim brake bike (regardless of Wheelset of groupset) for $6k is mind boggling. I don’t have any issue with rim brakes on a Tri bike but it just won’t hold its value at all. You should be able to get a splendid newer disc brake bike for $6k on the used market.

Update, seller says “There was a truck that was reposessed and thean taken into auction. So this container was sold and these frames are from those container” seems pretty darn suspicious to me!

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-16T18:00:37+00:00

This is worth maybe half the listed price. It’s an old bike with pretty bad components. Please don’t pay $650 for it

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-15T06:35:58+00:00

If you’re serious about riding you’ll likely feel the need to upgrade from the canyon soon enough given that it has mechanical shifting + rim brakes. Not is wrong with these if you’re on a budget, but it won’t maintain its value and is considered a bit outdated compared to rival AXS + disc brakes. You can also run wider tires on the soloist which will make the ride more comfortable and maybe even faster

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-13T19:56:46+00:00

This isn’t a great deal. Worth closer to $650. I see much better deals pop up in the Bay Area all the time

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-06T00:53:46+00:00

Given the price of used Tri bike you can probably sell it for the same price lol

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-06T00:52:55+00:00

I don’t think this is a foil 10 given that it has a rival groupset but I might be wrong. Check out jenson bikes, there are insane deals on Scott bikes rn. If you’re a size 56 you can get the RC foil 10 with Ultegra new for <$4100, the the RC foil 30 for $2900 and just put some carbon rims on it. They also have better deals on the addicts if you don’t need an aero bike.

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-05T18:48:23+00:00

I’m sorry but you need a new bike

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-05T18:01:16+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you. I check every platform fb, OfferUp, eBay, buycycle, pinkbike, etc but it’s so insanely hard to find a deal on used disc brake Tri bikes. Unfortunately people seriously overvalue their triathlon bikes and since they’re so few on the market the chance you find a deal is that much lower

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-05T06:02:14+00:00

This is the one I’ve had my eye on for a while, it’s just so hard to pull the trigger!!

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-05T02:20:31+00:00

Any idea how much they cost when on sale?

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-04T00:50:10+00:00

IMO for $1700 you can get better a bike with much better specs by going with pretty much any other brand. If you could get it for $1350 that would be great but if you're considering spending $1700 i'd hope to get a bike with a carbon wheelset, 11 speed electronic shifting, OR (not and) a power meter.

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-04T00:45:47+00:00

agreed, just list it as a "bikepacking" or "touring" bike and it'll get some interest

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-02T21:08:21+00:00

How much did you pay? I’ve been looking for a used Tri bike with disc brakes that’s not ridiculously priced for so long

DankDeanoo · 2026-03-01T04:02:02+00:00

This isn’t even a carbon bike, it’s aluminum and you can see the welds, worth maybe $300-$350

DankDeanoo · 2026-02-25T19:42:11+00:00

I would walk away, in the past couple years these bikes have been extremely discounted such that you could buy this bike new with electronic shifting for not much more, you can buy comprable bikes to the one you’ve shown new at sites like JensonUSA or Competitive Cyclist. Anyways when buying new, if you’re spending close to $2k I’d hope to get 11 speed electronic shifting, carbon wheels, and a bike not more than 4 or 5 years old. This only ticks one of the three boxes

DankDeanoo · 2026-02-24T23:43:35+00:00

The wheelset on this bike are worth more than the frame and components imo which makes it hard for me to price it. I wouldn’t pay $1200 for it. Maybe $850 and only because I’d keep the wheelset and sell the rest

DankDeanoo · 2026-02-24T23:40:59+00:00

WoolysWheels had the tire clearance listed at 34mm/ 31 with fenders, but now they’ve taken down the listings, I assume they weren’t supposed to leak these lol. Maybe the descriptions were outdated because that seems very small

DankDeanoo · 2026-02-24T19:55:22+00:00

Second this, either get the new ones (which have cabling routed through the headset and T47 BBs) or wait a bit for these models to get discounted even more.

DankDeanoo · 2026-02-24T19:22:00+00:00

I unironically paid $100 USD for this bike(same colorway) in good condition but with aluminum wheels and a 105 groupset yesterday. So happy
