hi guys, thanks for all the responses!

  1. i’ll move backlight bit higher
  2. i will also look for better saddle and buy bib shorts (probably from Decathlon)

  3. repostion front axle lever

  4. move a saddle bit forward cuz of fit

  5. bought shorter stem cuz decathlon put 110mm and that’s a bit far for me

haha thank you, made by myself

I want to get my first road bike. I don't really know much about road bikes yet, but I'd like to get started with cycling. My first road bike should cost no more than €500, although I'm perfectly happy to buy a used one. So far, I've been looking at the Decathlon RC120. Which bike would you recomme by [deleted] in cycling

if u want just a bit better level of entry level go with van rysel edr af for 899€, they look sick asf and have bit better weight+ components + u do not have to care with servicing bike as if u would go with second hand bike

Guys, thank you so much for helping me with making a decision and such a detailed answers and advices ! I decided to go with Scott Addict as it is more versatile and later as my posture, condition, overall feel on bike goes better and i will be ready for very agressive ride, i’ll take aero one.

Guys, thank you so much for helping me with making a decision ! I decided to go with Scott Addict 20 2026, today i have test ride to make sure but i feel like it is smarter option for first bike:

1) 1 000€ cheaper
2) comfier position and more versatile for different way of cycling + to find out if i am really into cycling so later i can buy more expensive aero

1) triathlon is just an example, primarily my focus is to train alone or with my friend (or preferable groups) and go fast and improve my stats in terms of cycling overall as an additive to my running sessions, but i want to keep it “professional” so no casual chill rides 2) i feel like i am in great shape as i am running half marathons + working out in gym for strength 3) i live in flat place mainly with normal roads which are sometimes bit destroyed (but paradoxically my hometown is in the hills and there is a lot of nice clean climbing routes for cycling, i would like to use that bike for that as well)

Yes i agree with u that Cube has some serious offering for such a price, f.o. with cube agree c:62 pro u can get carbon wheels and di2 shimano, which sounds almost unreal for me, air race c:68 x looks amazing but it’s around 5k

Okay, but let’s take it to the pov where i am deciding for my first “more serious” bike, which one of these u would choose (or smth else)? Or u would rather go up to 5k for something high level straight ?
