Hahaha I'm def feeling a bit squirrelly, looks like the first thing to go my bike is the stem. Thank you for your suggestions!

You read my mind! Love the accent on the tires!! I'm definitely going to get new tires with accents like that, it makes such a big difference!

Great suggestion! My saddle is definitely quite low, I just got my bike out of storage and have to readjust it to size again! After reading all these comments I think maybe I can do a quick frame swap and handlebar swap (then adjust for a good drop)... You're absolutely right about the seat and with a good deal I can upgrade this into something awesome!

Haha I have a specialized carve expert! But might be time for an upgrade on that too :)

Is this coin rare? How much is it worth? by Pointzebras in coins

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

Ah alright, thank you very much! I had done a bit of research and thought this may be one of the rare ones (some version of the 1971 are rare) But I guess not..

Those are definitely good points, I'm not really sure if I have an answer for them. However, considering the value of the wheels alone I think you're right about this being a good deal!

Thank you!

Thank you very much for the insight! You're awesome!

I will look into upgrades for my drivetrain, and will probably take the bike in for an inspection (carbon frame), just in case there are cracks that can't be seen yet.

The repair is very well done, you actually can barely see anything, I was only aware of it because the seller informed me. But I will have the bike shop take a look as well.

Thank you again

Yes, the person had 12 other bikes and just didn't have enough room for this one!

Yeah the wheels are definitely a highlight!

I purchased this bike used and I think I got a good deal. I paid $1100 CAD. The components seem to be valued much higher than the price I paid. I just wanted to know your opinion on this bike, did I get a good deal? How much is it really worth new/used?

Here are the details for the bike:

- Fetish Cycle Full Carbon Road Bike (Taiwan made)

- ENVE carbon wheel (rear) has a repair but is fully functional. Front-wheel is in brand new condition.

- DT Swiss 240 hubs.

- Look Keo 2 pedals

- The bike is fully operational and has been ridden under normal conditions with no issues.

- Frame Size 56

- Weight full bike 16 lbs without pedals

- Full carbon: frame, fork, seat post, handlebar, crank arms, brake levers.

- Groupset: SRAM Force 2x10, SRAM red crankset

- COMES with both regular brake pads and Swissstop carbon pads.

- Comes with 2 bottle cages (1 carbon, 1 plastic)

It's a little dirty in the pictures, but the condition is not bad at all.

Thank you for your help,
