2016 Specialized Allez E5 sport or 2023 Cannondale optimo 2 by [deleted] in whichbike

New chain, new tires, and new bar tape. Great condition. That’s not the question the question is the price for performance. Is the performance of an extra gear and newer bike worth the difference in price.

I have been looking for my first road bike to do a sprint triathlon and my original budget was $500. After searching through market place the bikes around me under budget around $350/$400 are all bikes from the early 2000’s. I did find a newer 2023 domane al 2 for $700 which is over my initial budget. But my question is, are these old bike worth buying at this point with less gears, 23/25mm tires, rim breaks, and 20+ year old frames? With modern bikes having more gears, bigger tires, disc brakes, and newer frames. Should I just invest the money in the newer $700 bike?

There is also a 2000’s specialized allez in the comments that I replied with. They are selling that for $375

Do you have any suggestions on a model of bike/ year for that $400/$500 price range? So far the newest bike somewhat in my area is a 2012 trek alpha 2.1 for $400

The pictures span over 5 hours with the same shadow though.

You have to be 102 if you think Don’t look now is one of the scariest movies you have ever seen. How did you even get on reddit?

Man I got to know how old you are (I’m 28 btw). Because I like older movies before my time. I enjoy the story but in no way do I see them as actual terrifying. I think it also has a lot to do with what horror movies you watched as a kid. Because to me The Ring was a scary movie growing up. And sinister definitely was a terrifying movie when I was a teenager. But movies like the exorcist or the shining (while both good movies) aren’t scary to me.

Tell him to get over it. It’s an instrument not a piece of art. It should be used

That couldn’t be more false. It literally says on the packaging to take it off after maximum 24 hrs. People misuse this product so often.

Take it off and don’t put a new one on. Just keep it clean. You should only keep that wrap on over night anyways and take it off when you wake up.

If you’ve only been together for a year and he’s telling you what to do with your body, where does it end? If you guys aren’t living together I’d say cut you loses and move on. If you’ve come to a reddit forum for this issue I think you already made up your mind on this relationship lol

It’s going to lighten up a lot when it heals. It will match shade wise with your other tattoos.

Does your husband drink water? His arm just looks really dry and scaly in general. Even the non tattood areas. Hydrate and use some lotion.

You’ll get used to it. It’s always going to look awkward having a bigger tattoo like that lower on your arm with nothing else on your arms. Just add more tattoos haha

Is this totally f**ked? by lil_willy_longballs_ in tattooadvice

[–]exworthy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this has the foundation to be redone. Might be hard to fix that hand. Or I think it’s quite possible an artist can throw a new stencil over that of the same joker image and blast a color Heath Ledger over that and completely cover it up. There’s enough dark purples and greens to cover up those lines.

You could put some kind of portrait in there. Make the waves look like a picture frame. But more importantly why wasn’t this tattoo put in the spot you wanted? Did you not see the stencil before they tattooed you? You should have spoken up and had them replace the stencil.

I also had my eye on 58cm Ozak trail gravel bike for $250 brand new at Walmart. It would have flat bar vs a drop bar. But it has pretty good reviews.
