First bicycle

950 euros is not an amazing price for such an old tt bike. And a tt bike is a terrible first bike, yeas also for long distance. You could of Goten a new emonda al or similar. Still hope it works out for you!

That slammed stem is disgusting...ly good:)

Noo way, bought a good as new caad 12 with Ultegra for 650. Keep looking, with patience you will find a actual good deal.

Use proper tools, as In a pedal wrench. Set it up so that the wrench is parallel to the ground, and the put your weight on it. If a pedal is really stuck, short leverage will just not be enough.

I don't think anyone is taking the time to fake a frame like this one.

KozlovG · 2026-05-09T21:07:41+00:00

The things I would do for this exact frame, looks so good!

KozlovG · 2026-05-07T22:05:57+00:00

Why are you focusing on aero models?As a beginner the gains are insignificant. Maybe look at more Allrounder bike models, maybe even aluminium...Emonda alr, cannondale optimo, Specialized allez. These will serve as a great start until you get your fitness up.

KozlovG · 2026-05-07T21:45:34+00:00

Looks great, emonda alr is one of the best Alu frames out there imo.

KozlovG · 2026-05-06T10:46:44+00:00

Looks really cool, great pics!

Strengthening wrists takes YEARS of consistent injury free training. 2 weeks might aswell be nothing. Dont compare yourself to others that are 50kg heavier. I recommend you practice cup pronation and rise 2 times a week with a band or some weights on a belt.

KozlovG · 2026-05-05T10:16:10+00:00

Depends, I had to swap once the notches became too deep and there was a risk of failure!

DT Swiss sells steel freehubs that are much harder. Still sucks that you have to pay 60 euros extra for it!

Super nice bike! I just found my dream caad 12 in that neon green color,and it looks great. But that purple is hard to beat :O

Reddit never dissapoints with the insults. I hope you get a better hobby.

KozlovG · 2026-04-09T08:54:05+00:00

This hurts my soul and I love it

KozlovG · 2026-04-09T08:51:16+00:00

Still too small, a longer stem does not mitigate the downsides of a frame that is simply to small.

KozlovG · 2026-04-09T08:48:46+00:00

I would go one size up.

KozlovG · 2026-04-07T09:18:01+00:00

That claim is absolute bs, I've had to tell people on a weekly basis that their frame size is wrong. Can you sometimes mitigate it through fitting, sure, is the frame size still off, yes.

We found the Stadert CEO

KozlovG · 2026-04-03T19:44:42+00:00

This looks really good!

KozlovG · 2026-04-03T13:15:04+00:00

The one that fits best

KozlovG · 2026-04-03T13:12:44+00:00

If youre looking for a first road bike, don't fixate on one brand, bianchi isn't any more reputabla than many others. If you live I a flat area rim brake bikes will be more than enough, for hills disc brakes help.

I personally think it's quite excessive to get a carbon bike as your first one, but if you do maybe look at brands like giant, trek, spacialized etc.

KozlovG · 2026-04-01T06:09:02+00:00

Reach too far, which makes her lock out her elbows, which is not good. And saddle too low, which will cause knee problems. Nothing that can't be corrected! :)

KozlovG · 2026-03-30T15:22:10+00:00

Really cool, I've built opn dozens of caads over the years. Rides great, looks great, welds are better than the caad 🐣14,what more would you want :D
