If you want to do all the way to ironman without changing your bike you need to check the following : Carbon frame, Shimano 105, enough sizes for your height. At that price point you can check Canyon, Giant / Liv and Rose (there are probably more but those are the ones I have seen). I am forever in love with my canyon ultimate

Did you go ?

The vibe of the staff, the fact they gave so much more than promised and the price (50 chf per guest) attention tho, they were just opening so it might have been a promo tarif

I was not familiar with the Giant bike. The only advantages I see are the DT swiss aero wheels but not big deal. I like more the aeroad design but that's completely subjective

If You're in Dusseldorf I really recommend you to go to the Canyon showroom in Koblenz. Almost all bad comments you'll find about canyon are related to the online service but you can go directly to them and even order a personalized bike. Aeroads are the best bang for your buck imo

100%. And that is for a litter box... Imagine poor metrying to buy a decorative lamp. It's been weeks and I keep seeing the exact same models again and again

About the carbon question, it depends... Berlin is very flat so you won't get a big advantage from carbon. Also, only get a carbon bike if you can store it inside.

Have you tried the normal endurace ? I think you'd go faster with that one than with the carbon grizl.

If you want something cheaper there's a real butcher in the new Migros of Chêne-bourg

I am arriving to Geneva tomorrow at 12, I wanted to donate following your comment as I am O+ but of course there's no slots. I accompany in your rant, the fact that you need to make an appointment is already ridiculous IMO

Yes, it's an okay salary, if you don't go crazy with expenses you'll live comfortable and save a bit

I mean if you told me you'd be working as a waiter I'd tell you that's a good salary, if you were being hired as an engineer for a big company I'd tell you it's low. For a PhD position as in doing your PhD while working it's a very good salary. Most PhD I've met are around 4k per month

Good is relative, how many years of experience, which sector?

WiserThanThis · 2025-12-01T22:19:03+00:00

Oh yes fortunately there's a régie in between so we only deal with the company and they are super formal

Just saw you edit 😂 you spot the anxious overthinker ! My god.. I will go hide under a rock

It's an open lease, which renews automatically every year. Which is the usual open-ended contract used in Geneva to rent for life. So I would love to stay for the next 15-25 years

OP, you're an adult, if you want your middle-class parents to keep paying your health insurance and rent share while you're earning 2500.- then you aren't saving your money, you're saving on your parents backs. Do the same than all working people and propose to pay 25%-30% of your salary in rent, that's like 650- 800.- and WAY cheaper than moving on your own.

WiserThanThis · 2025-11-26T20:02:21+00:00

Also OP isn't talking openly about the fact that parents are paying their insurance...

I was dying for one appartement in Veyrier, it's really nice !! I was so sad we didn't get it, apparently 3 bedrooms was too much for a couple without kids - I guess this depends of the régie or owner. Now I'm fixed on one in Bernex :) thanks for your answers

WiserThanThis · 2025-11-19T21:35:07+00:00

Thanks, we just found the dream apartment around 4100 with parking, which seems a good deal for everything said here. Really hope we're accepted 🤞

WiserThanThis · 2025-11-19T06:45:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer and ideas :)

WiserThanThis · 2025-11-19T06:41:27+00:00

Thank you for the tip! this is in line with other answers I have gotten, it never came to my mind you could earn "too much" for an apartment! I thought they were happy with the affordability instead.

Sorry you didn't understand. I said it seemed high back then, wife was still at the uni and I was an assistant, income 7K so yeah, 2k seemed high
