I managed to snag a Giant Defy advanced 1 for $3300, full Carbon, ultegra (minus crankset) and hydraulic discs. I got extremely lucky that it happened to be available when I was looking online.

Hi guys, 

Looking for a new road bike and as the way things are with covid, bikes seem to be sold out everywhere. Im in need of an upgrade riding around on my old Raleigh mountain bike and recently borrowed my friend’s specialized Tarmac!! 

Absolutely amazingggg bike!

Would like to hear any suggestions you have max budget of €4000 - ideally carbon frame + hydraulic disc brakes,shimano 105 

Yes its my first entry level bike, however, i have relocated and seeing as all the bikes have bloody sold out where I live, I thought I would use this time and ride with what I have and save alot for a bike I want and to keep for a while.

Kept it short and sweet. 

Hope to hear all your great ideas, thanks!

Endurance bike suggestions

 And those are both carbon fiber frames. Those are both around 20 pounds in a large frame size and have 32 and 38 mm tires respectively.

The road I'm going to ride on is going to be pretty smooth, same goes for the pavements (or as comfortable as it can be, at least) but I like going out on small litte trails that has a lot more dirt than rock as well. Nothing too big, but it has sand and gravels.

I'm going to ride LONG distances with no hills AT ALL. I also love the prospect of going off roads and pavements if I choose to.

Speed, durability and efficiency (and also COST-EFFICIENCY) is my main concern. Doesn't have to be the most comfortable, but it has to be comfortable enough to ride for long hours (5-10 hours)

The bike doesn't have to be able to do jumps or finish a rock garden, but it has to be somewhat durable and not fragile to the extent of not being able to go down stairs and jumping up and down curbs.

Thank you so much Reddit! Please help me choose a bike thats suitable for my budget of 2-3 thousand dollars. Just to leave it out there, speed is my top priority followed by a close second for durability and cost-efficiency!

Best bicycle for pavements and roads, with no hills? 2000-3000 USD to spend.

 The bike comes setup tubulars. Very few companies do actually seem to send their bikes out to Bliss. They all come to Bliss ready which means we're giving you some cheap Euler's tires, but the possibilities in it. so we've added a bit of weight

 You know that D F-- you see posted deep Use handlebar, the cleverness that's built into the into the chassis, the fact that it comes running on Big 28 C tubeless tires. But there's another factor to this. and that's the geometry. You know what Giant have done here is they've taken the existing defied geometry, which is always a kind of sporty endurance part that we've liked, and they've ever so slightly tweaked it

 and that's the geometry. You know what Giant have done here is they've taken the existing defied geometry, which is always a kind of sporty endurance part that we've liked, and they've ever so slightly tweaked it. It's actually grown a little bit, but that's just to take into account that from the original fighters of the science of this one, the trend has been to bigger tires, so its 28c tires rather than that original design which would have been based around 23. So what Giant have done is, they've just gone where we want to retain the traits that has made the device so popular, made it their best-selling bike, and bring it to the kind of this new generation

Comfort Road Bike of the Year WINNER | Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0

I currently have the Gaint Defy Advanced in a size Small(In the middle of S and M) and its amazing, had it just for a week and already put in about 300km on it. My previous bike was  a carrera racer on a size M and had it for about 10 years before upgrading, never knew about bike fitting or anything, still managed to do a couple of century run on it but developed lower back and arm pain due to the size being too big for me. I was told that if your in the middle range of the two sizes it be better to pick the size down as you can always adjust the seat and stem as for a larger frame it be more difficult.

Hi all,
Looking at getting into road cycling and first drop bar bike.
I’ve been doing some research and a lot has steered my towards a Giant Defy as a good starting point

The market seems a bit crazy atm and very very few mediums are for sale (no bike shops have any). Looking at used, I like the look of this one but think it might be a little bit large (ML) but not sure I can adjust the stem and seat post etc as it looks like a nice bike for $1700AUD

I am 178cm tall

Any help very much appreciated

 So these paradigm rims are tubeless ready as well mounted up with some thru axle bontrager hubs. The actual weight of this trektomani sl5 is gon na come in and weigh 20.08 pounds. Thanks for watching this, video on the 2022 trek, domani sl5 go ahead and let me know your thoughts down in the comment section below, while you're at it be sure to hit the like button

 With this 105 crank set operating a 50 34 tooth now to geek that out just a little bit. What that means is you can end up with a one to one ratio where the climbing capability of this is going to be super strong matched up with a 50 and 11 outback is gon na help make sure that you still have top end speed as well Operating those gears is, of course, going to be these shimano 105 shifters. So this is a shift and brake lever, so inside button is going to bring you to a harder gear. Whole lever over is going to bring you to any easier gear and then, if you pull back on the brake, that's going to allow braking through the hydraulic system down to two piston calipers on the front and the rear operating millimeter rotors

Keeping the bike rolling down the road is going to be some bontrager r3 tires. Now these r3 tires are going to be tubeless ready in a 700 by 32 millimeter width, so nice wide and comfortable and personally i love the tan wall on this red to blue fade color of the bike, and these are mounted up on some bontrager paradigm rams

 But in the 2022 variant, the newest generation of the frame you'll see that it's got another cap up front, and so this runs front. Iso speed and essentially what front iso speed is. Is it's a bearing system? That'S holding the top bearing race for the steer tube that goes through, and it allows flex on the handlebar now what's neat about this particular design is when they do it. That way, it effectively allows them to have comfort added to the bike without the wheel

The Most Comfortable Way To Go FAST | 2022 Trek Domane SL 5 Review

If you plan to use the bike for 7-10 years overall the price is probably less than a gym membership. My guidance to you is look at endurance road bikes by Trek or Specialized. I would stay away from gravel, hybrids, or mountain bikes since you are mostly going to be on pavement. I used this logic in 2019 and ended up with a Trek Domane SL5 that I put thousands of miles on

Hi all,

I commute about 10 miles each way 4-5 times a week. I currently use a Priority 600 and some panniers, and generally like the low maintenance of the bike. It works well. But I also love road cycling (a Roubaix) and have become a bit of a data nerd -- looking at power, cadence, etc. while riding, and with the Priority having a Pinion drive most of the parts are non-standard. As a result, I can't get power from it without using power meter pedals or rebuilding a rear wheel, neither of which I really want to do (though I do have a second-hand set of Garmin Vector 2 pedals I've used, I don't love having to bring an extra pair of shoes and the time it takes to gear up etc with clipless pedals). I'm considering replacing the Priority with something a bit faster, with more standard components, but that would still be good as a daily commuter/beater. What bikes would you consider for this?  


I've been mostly considering the Specialized Diverge or Trek Checkpoint - gravel bikes that are made for a bit rougher terrain and have braze-ons for mounting racks/mud guards/etc., but can still take fast road tires and can still go pretty fast. What else should I consider?

&amp;#x200B;

Am I crazy for wanting to do this? :)

Good commuter bike that's fast-ish

 Another reason is one of the I think the burrito tube to store more gears and make the design more sleek is one of the big pluses and especially with the redesign it's more aerodynamic compared to the road series Madone overall, I think in the first week of Writing this bike I really loved riding through, especially all the roads in Vancouver all the little bumps. It'S very enjoyable ride, so guys thanks for watching. Let me know what you guys think about the bike in the comment section down below and don't forget to hit that like and subscribe button and we'll see you guys next time. 

Hey everyone: this is the 2021 track. The money tracks endurance bike ever since its redesigned in 2019. It has a lot more new features, as well as new aerodynamic tube shapes. It looks a lot similar to tracks older brother, the track module

 This year is going up to 38. So if I wanted more knobby tires, I can do a cyclocross with it.

2021 Trek Domane SL5 quick review

Essentially, only higher end bikes are in stock because sucker like me spend $3200 on a bike.

Hey everyone! I am looking for some advice here. 

I went to a Trek bike shop in GA and basically every road bike in 1000-2000 usd range is sold out and the wait time is 3 -12 months (I was like,  REALLY?). 

Then I have found some suboptimal choices (colors or cost efficiency not optimal) that are in stock right now in a specific bike shop (so I assume they probably only have 1 or 2 left in the 200 miles radius around me)..... 

Basically I'd like to know if they are still resupplying their stock from time to time, or if I miss these suboptimal choices I'd never be able to get a bike this year... 

Try to decide if I should go with what they have right now, or wait until some bike shop magically gets the one that I like more all of a sudden... 

Thanks in advance!

Update: Thank you everyone for your advice! Gonna grab a female bike Liv Avail 3 large tomorrow (if it is still there). This is literally my only hope within the 200 mile radius!! 

I am 6&#39;1&#39;&#39;, the bike&#39;s frame size is probably equivalent to a Trek 56 or 58cm. I might be 1 inch taller than the recommended range but it won&#39;t be too bad right?

Will the bike shortage become better in the near future?

 I mean this is a 400 gram saddle as well, so with a physique antares on there you're saving another couple hundred grams. If you're a weight we need, there are things you can change, but it's it's a heavy bike because you've got disc brakes, but the advantage you've got going downhill on this thing is just immense, downhill, so much confidence. I just absolutely love this bike. So if you're thinking about buying one - and this is the video that tells you to buy it - i hope you go and buy this bike

 So all pretty much, not a lot really to moan about, because this bike itself is probably the most comfortable bike i've ever ridden. It just absorbs the road right. What do i like about this bike? Well, it is the most comfortable bike i have ever ridden by far it just dampens up the road that iso speed. Really works, you read the gump and you think: does it really work? It absolutely

 It'S all nice lines, just really clever. That is just i mean this is just beautiful um. I really like the idea of this, even though it is a little bit flimsy, the actual practicality of not having a saddlebag and how clean the bike looks, it just looks immense with nothing on it. You put what you need in your back pockets

 It says to put a pump in a tube tire levers. It is a tight squeeze, it's hard to roll up and it barely fits in there and most of the stuff that you do is in the top part of the bike. And then we've got this itself, which is uh quite flimsy. I mean it doesn't quite sit on the bike very well, it's a great gadget and it keeps the bike nice and clean when the bottle's in there it is a little bit wobbly, but it's not it's

Trek Domane SL5 2021 Review

 Of course, it's gon na be a carbon fiber fork that goes onto the front, and it's actually slightly bladed, which is going to help with some of the aerodynamics of this bike. For sure. Another thing that I really like about this bike is, of course, that it's all internally cable routed and it's done really nicely. So everything comes through on the top tube of the bike right behind the stem and into the bicycle, and then you just don't have to see it again

 Another thing that I really like about this bike is, of course, that it's all internally cable routed and it's done really nicely. So everything comes through on the top tube of the bike right behind the stem and into the bicycle, and then you just don't have to see it again. It makes for a very clean setup. It'S gon na make for a setup, that's resistant to weather and things like that as well, and it's also gon na help the aerodynamics on this bike for sure now, of course, because this is a disc brake version and Trek is going after making this bike

 Not only an endurance bike, but a very good do it all bike you're actually gon na have room for as wide as 38 millimeter tires, so you can get as big of a tire as you'd really need on the bike, and out of the box tires on This bike are actually going to be. The Bontrager r1 700 by 32 is the basic version of the road lineup of tires from Trek. But what's really neat about this bike? Is its tubeless capable so the wheels that come on it? The affinity TLR wheels are actually tubeless ready. So if you upgraded the tires to a tubeless setup, you could make this bike tubeless ready as well now for a drivetrain on the bike

 So a taller and a shorter rider are gon na get the same benefits of comfort, as anyone else would now up front. They'Re gon na do a similar technology, so underneath this cap, this cap actually can come off is another ISO speed. So ISO speed is on the front end and that allows the top bearing race to actually ride on the ISO speed setup and it allows the whole handlebar to flex down ever so slightly to make sure that it helps smooth out the ride and really keep you Comfortable when you're out there now cockpit on this bike is, of course, Bontrager you're gon na have a Bontrager blender stem, which I really like these, because the blender stems allow you to have different mounting points you can see on this one. It'S actually got a mount up top for a computer, though you could run all different accessories to it, and then it's got a lower amount, which is great and you'll notice that these are actually what are considered

All Around Endurance Bike - Trek Domane SL5 2020 105 Carbon Road Bike Feature Review and Weight

 I would consider the wider tires a bigger factor in a smooth ride than even the rear ISO speed. I also noticed a definite improvement in the aerodynamics. I did notice a small average speed improvement, but the bike just seems to slice through the wind.  It's also very quiet

  I've checked online for over 2 months. Overall, as an aging cyclist, I think this bike will keep me on the roads longer with less fatigue.

  The Shimano disk brakes really do provide much more modulation in braking as compared to rim brakes. The threaded thru-axle is also very helpful in the alignment of the disk brakes when removing or replacing a wheel after a bike wash.  The front ISO speed decoupler dampens road vibrations in my hands from riding.  This is a big improvement from my first Domane

 I've yet to climb any big hills, but the long cage rear derailleur and a wider cassette should help. SL5 also includes a storage box inside the frame for storing a flat kit. This is a handy feature, but I am still going to sport a saddle bag under my seat to carry my preferred my tools especially on long rides. In addition, the recommended multi-tool for the storage box is unavailable anywhere

Nice upgrade from 1st generation Domane.
