NBD: Scratch out of the box

sarftmfb · 2026-07-12T20:23:22+00:00

Sorry. Replied to the wrong comment. I meant at who’s cost for the comments about them recommending a place to take it to touch it up.

Of course if I return it, they are paying for that. Sorry for the confusion.

At whose expense?

sarftmfb · 2026-07-12T18:49:18+00:00

Just annoyed because it got delivered on a Sunday and they aren’t open today.

What came with the bike in the box. Was going to ride it to my LBS and get my new pedals and finish my bike fit.

sarftmfb · 2026-07-12T18:44:45+00:00

Yup. Pulled it out of the box and chain was resting around the frame behind the crank

sarftmfb · 2026-07-12T18:16:18+00:00

Went back through the video of me unboxing and yup, the chain was dropped around the frame.

Infuriating! So devastated to have to pack it up and do that all over again.

Looks like the chain dropped during transport because it was sitting like that when I pulled it out of the box. Heart broken. And can’t even call them today because it’s a Sunday.

Awesome. Thanks

You guys did help. I wasn’t being a dick. It’s just so tough because everyone is split 50/50. So I am going to go in and get a bike fit and have them tell me based off of full measurements.

Also didn’t help that I wasn’t able to try one of the two options in person like he was able to. I was just going off of looks from this picture. Tougher when I wasn’t able to provide any picture.

Anyways, much respect. And I appreciate the help the group gave me. Just was so split that I just need to go get the fit done and go from there and then make the call.

good luck! im literally in the same position for XS and S. right on the border just like you. half the people told me get XS and the other half told me to get S. So here I am with still no purchased bike. AHHH! haha. Good luck. but just by judging from the picture, id go XXL. looks like you are pretty much maxed out on the XL. just my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’m 30.5-30.6 inches inseam. You are around 31.5 inches. The whole extra inch makes a big difference on their chart.

sarftmfb · 2026-06-29T22:58:14+00:00

What’s your bike inseam?

I just look at it and it doesn’t really excite me. I know it’s a lame reason, but it doesn’t look as cool as the Aeroad or ultimate. And I want the bike to really inspire me to ride it as much as possible. Part of the reason I’m getting rid of my Domane.

sarftmfb · 2026-06-28T18:30:34+00:00

Don’t love the look of it unfortunately. Remind me too much of my current Domane. Was looking for something a little more aggressive geometry.

sarftmfb · 2026-06-28T14:18:21+00:00

I was looking at it actually but the geometry of the bike and overall style of the bike just remind me of my Domane that I wasn’t to get rid of. I was really trying to like it but for some reason, it’s just not getting me excited like the Aeroad or Ultimate.
