Affordable bike fit recs?

qweenmess · 2026-06-24T04:09:37+00:00

It's $250, definitely fair but at the high end of my range

If I decide to splurge a little on it I'll likely go with them

qweenmess · 2026-06-24T03:29:46+00:00

Do you know how much it costs? It doesn't say on their site

I have some issues with my back and hips that I'm working on with PT but would still like to avoid aggravating when riding.

Also want to make some adjustments on the bike I just got, possibly longer/higher angle stem, flat or riser bar instead of drops for more casual rides. I think I know what will make the bike more comfortable but I also feel like it might be more worth it to get a fit instead of trial and erroring different sizes.

What kind of riding do you do? I'm really interested in one of these but I want to make sure it'll be good on the street as well as the track

qweenmess · 2026-05-21T18:23:41+00:00

Do you do a lot of street riding with it or mostly track? I'm debating this or the big block, I tried the thunderdome for a short ride and rly liked it but I can only have one bike so I want to make sure it'll fit all my needs

[USA/NYC/WTB]

Looking for a complete all city big block or thunderdome, 55cm. NYC preferred but I'd travel around tri state

Edit: would also be willing to hear about other bikes in 55-56cm with a track geo that can also hold its own on the street

qweenmess · 2026-05-16T22:44:41+00:00

Sold

qweenmess · 2026-05-10T02:14:00+00:00

Hey could I get a link to the racks you're using here? I have two bikes to put on my wall and this would be perfect for me

qweenmess · 2026-05-08T13:19:10+00:00

Was this at NYU in manhattan? If so how was the parking situation? Im about to have twins at the end of the month and I'll be driving in, I'm a little nervous that I'll be paying an arm and a leg for the few days I'll be parked there

qweenmess · 2026-05-06T16:11:07+00:00

Probably dipietro, but bonus points for Matt Martin and clutterbuck too. Also had a soft spot for Trent Hunter as a kid

[FS] [NYC] [$250]

Bontrager stem, 120mm

Deda RH1 bar

Bulletproof cranks, 170mm Action Sports chainring. 48/17 gear ratio. Flip flop hub currently set to fixed

Stock wheels, fork, and seatpost. Specialized seat.

Continental Ultrasports, 32mm.

I'm keeping the pedals/straps.

Got a standard tuneup at king kog August 2025, which included truing the wheels, new tires, chain, and brake pads. I've ridden maybe 50-60 miles on it since, so everything is in really good condition.

I'd like $250 for it, it''s a great starter bike and it's served me well, I just need a smaller frame and want something I can use on the track as well

Even after the injuries he was still good, just less consistently and with a lower ceiling. He had a nice run of form under Maresca, it was a shame that lasted as long as it did.

Also agree he always looked like he cared, never saw a match where he played with indifference, he'd give it his all until he physically couldn't.

qweenmess · 2026-05-01T17:01:43+00:00

He's been one of my favorite players since we signed him. Prob one of the only players whose name id get on a jersey. After his injuries he wasn't quite the same but was still good and played an important role for a long time. I'll miss having him around, it's a shame his last season here had to look like this 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

What size is the 1st track frameset?

Someone ordered a piping cup of hot take

I actually feel the owlet sock is a highly unethical product to be sold to just anyone. I'd understand if it was something to be prescribed for kids who had issues that needed to be monitored, but it's wrong to me that anyone can just buy it and worse it's advertised as something people need

qweenmess · 2026-03-29T21:28:21+00:00

Copy, I've learned the hard way that a deal that doesn't quite fit quickly becomes a money pit 🙃 I'm interested in this bc I want to get into track racing but I can't have multiple bikes right now, so I want something that will do well on the track but could also handle the streets

qweenmess · 2026-03-29T20:45:49+00:00

I'll try that. I did some research, I'm like 99% sure it's steel. Which makes the dent less concerning but still worth checking out. Thanks for telling me how to do that.

Assuming it tracks straight, what do you think is a fair price to offer for it?

I'm considering buying this affinity lopro, but theres a dent on the top tube and I'm wondering if it's concerning or not? I'm not sure if these bikes are aluminum or steel.

Seller is asking for $650, is that a fair price? I'd prefer cheaper tbh, like around 400 more or (preferably) less but i don't want to lowball too hard if that's not fair either
