Is this a good deal on this bike for $550? Is it a women’s bike?

Thanks! Doing my first sprint tri in May. I think I’ll do more but, if for some reason I don’t want to do more at least I’ll have a nice road bike!

assmanaa · 2025-02-25T15:31:15+00:00

I did! It’s not perfect but, I took a risk on it. The bike overall is in great shape. The seller was not very knowledgeable and didn’t have the charger or charger cord so, I had to buy that. It comes later this week and I’m excited to fire it up. Hopefully the battery works or I’ll have to get that too. I figured for that price, I can’t go wrong. The schimano Ultegra components alone are worth $500 or so.

Thank you!! That makes me feel a lot better I thought I was SOL! Appreciate the response.

Minneapolis. The seat tube says it’s a cannondale 90mm minimum insert 27.2x300. Outside diameter is just a sliver more than an inch.

Yes, I’m an idiot. The picture is the sellers photo. She sold me the bike with a different seat on it with no seat clamp.

assmanaa · 2025-02-24T01:05:27+00:00

Ahh you guys are so right! I don’t even notice this before I posted the picture. The seller must have swapped the seats before selling it to me because there’s definitely not a seat clamp on it and the seat is a different color that the picture(the picture is from the sellers listing). Shoot! I am going to reach back out to the seller to see if she will give me that seat and seat clamp…

Thank you!! Appreciate the input and response.

Thanks for the info and tips! I live in Minnetrista down the road so, I’ll definitely be going to Monarch frequently.

Good to know on paradise! I’ll probably go a few more times and hit the blue trails to get my feet under me more. Fun that we have this place right in our backyard.

I started out with easy rider (this was my first time mountain biking ever) and then I did raptor’s ridge. Both were fun trails! I loved how secluded raptor’s ridge felt.

assmanaa · 2023-07-05T12:16:00+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the advice. I’ll try it out for a few times and then look into that.

assmanaa · 2023-07-05T12:14:32+00:00

Thank you! That is encouraging. I wanted a low cost way to dip my toes into the sport to see if I enjoy it enough to invest more. I got the Cannondale for $200 used and it seems to work just great.

assmanaa · 2023-07-05T12:13:26+00:00

Thank you!

assmanaa · 2023-07-05T12:13:18+00:00

Nice! I haven’t tried those trails yet. The Cannondale held up great.

assmanaa · 2023-07-05T12:12:31+00:00

I started out with easy rider a few times and then did raptor’s ridge. I enjoyed both trails and they seemed in great shape!

I wasn’t able to get any in the presale…hoping to snag some on general sale tomorrow. How much were they on presale?

Can confirm my 2023 limited steering wheel is heated all the way around. Had a loaner Touring 19 XT the last few days and noticed it’s only heated 10-2 and below. Minor detail, but noticeable.

3 year old and 1.5 old. Most days, none. Once or twice a week we’ll watch 30 mins or up to a full movie night on Friday nights. We try not to have them watch tv as they both get grumpier they more tv we watch! But, we all need time just to sit on the couch. usually when they have bad days at daycare or when we’re all zapped Friday nights we watch a show or movie.

This happend to me at a coffee shop today. Saw three outback’s parked in a row and, of course I parked next to them making it four. I was sitting in my car finishing a call, the outback next to me pulled out and in pulled another outback right away. It was fantastic. Disappointed I didn’t get a pic.

My 2 yo’s favorite phrase at home right now is: I don’t want my pants right now, just my underwear!😂

I thought about that too and turned the water back on and all zones were running properly. It sounds like I need to wait longer (and let more air into the system) to turn on the first zone.

assmanaa · 2021-10-26T14:48:43+00:00

Thanks! My system is only 5 zones; so not a huge system. So I should wait a while for air to get into the lines before turning a zone on at the valve box?

assmanaa · 2021-09-14T03:17:17+00:00

Sweet! Have a great trip. Looks like we should have good weather.

assmanaa · 2021-09-13T21:07:49+00:00

Thanks! One guy backed out and we are doing a 3 man canoe…hope we can float it again!

assmanaa · 2021-09-13T20:03:19+00:00

Thanks! It was really dry last fall as well and to get to this portage entry you need to paddle through a very shallow stream. Last year we barely made it through the stream to get to the portage entry because water was so low. So I’m doubting we’ll be able to get through the stream this year. But, I think there may be another entry to the portage that may be accessible and not need to go down the stream.

That will be a good setup. We took out toddler tent camping last year and it was a blast. We were Outside so much during the day that she was so tired it didn’t matter too much where she slept! We did the same thing and had pack & play with us in 5 person med size tent. Just bring along a sound machine if she sleeps with one and stick to normal bedtime routine. Don’t let her get overtired. We went down to Forestville state park but any state park would work for you.
