Poseidon X, for the money simply the best bang for your buck gravel bike out there.  I am thrilled it's only a 10 speed or that it weighs like 24lbs, but for $650-$750 one heck of a deal

I've been looking at multiple new gravel bikes for purchase, but I cam across this. Is it worth $375? Or should I go with a new Poseidon X drop bar for $750?

Poseidon X. I have one as my commuter and love it! I recommend you size up though. In stock right now as well.

What is a good quality bike that could handle bike touring as well as light mountain biking and just riding around town for 750 USD or less (if it’s like 10-25 dollars over budget that should be fine)

Recommend bikes for under 750 USD

 My concerns with it are its aggressive geometry and just quality of parts as I've heard mixed things about it. I want to keep my budget under 1000, which doesn't give me a lot to work with.

 There is no smaller lever for a rim brake option. The main difference between ultegra and dura ace level levers just comes down to construction. The higher tier group sets get a carbon fiber, reinforced plastic body and levers, whereas with 105 you get a glass fiber, reinforced plastic body and alloy beavers. So it's a bit heavier overall

 However, it's a measurable thing, it's what shimadu provides. It gives the best way to compare ultegra to jury race to 105 and so on. So it's rrp pricing throughout now we're going to start off with the shifters or, if you prefer, shimano's lingo, the dual control shifters and these outwardly are very, very similar to both ultegra and duress. All three of these feature, the new shifter style, with ever so slightly flattened, tops and a textured grip on the top of the hoods

 If you want an utterly dependable workhorse of a group set that has nearly all the performance of ultegro duress, 105 r7000 in any of its variants comes highly recommended. Thank you very, very much for watching. As always, please leave any questions or thoughts in the comments. I always look at them

 It'S an 11 speed group set, which is only available in double variance but is available in both disc and rim brake options. It is commonly fitted on bikes in the one thousand to two and a half thousand pound range and how it performs well. You'Ll have to watch the video to find out before we crack on my beautiful garms. My fashionable cycling clothing is not of my own choosing

SUPER in-depth Shimano 105 Review | Everything You Need to Know About R7000

 They use exotic materials and they're used by the pros, but when i actually come to buying a group set when price and value become key factors, there's one group set that stands out that many people choose shimano 105. [ Music ]. Over the years, i have ridden hundreds of test bikes with dual race old tegra, and one of five group sets. I know it's a tough job, etc, and one thing they all share in common is exceptional performance

 Then 105 offers all the performance that most of us really need. It'S good weight, good performance, durability, great ergonomics. It'S really all group set that anybody needs, but those are my thoughts and opinions now time to hand it over to you. So let me know what you think of this group set down in the comment section below that's all for now, thanks for watching, as ever make sure you keep liking, subscribing and watching my videos and i'll see you again soon

 Is there any difference in terms of durability and long-term reliability with one of five versus ultegra and druids? In my experience, no, i don't see you getting any less durability with 105 compared to the more expensive group sets what you're really gaining from a more expensive group set. It'S better quality materials which contribute to a lower weight and slightly more refined shift quality. But in terms of durability, long-term reliability, i don't think you're getting any less for your money, so there we go then shimano's 105 group set is arguably hard to beat unless you're a weight, weenie you're into your margin of gains. You must have the same as a pros ride or you want the absolute pinnacle of technology

 And then you get all the same ramps on the cassette which ensures the chain moves smoothly across the cassette. It'S such a smooth, quiet, efficient, shifting group set. You can change it under load in any situation. Cross-Chaining

Is Shimano 105 all the groupset you really need?

It’s not just the 2000 euro you want to spend (which is a lot of money, but not a lot of budget for a TT bike), you will need a proper bike fit to make good use of the aerodynamics. And it won’t save you from buying another bike for your day to day training.

Hey all,

Pretty typical post but looking for suggestion for first bike. I am planning on competing in a half iron man.

I have decided to go with a road bike and have a starting budget of $2000 AUD / 1500 USD.

I have been looking at used bikes, but it doesn't seem like there is much of a market at the moment. But happy to go new or used.


Thanks!

First Bike - Looking for suggestions / first triathlon

 9000 was an improvement, but 9100 is king. R8000 Ultegra and R7000 105 were the 'trickle down' and just as good with slightly less fancy materials and a few extra grams. I really don't think there is room anymore for high end mechanical shifting unless a few picky pro riders demand it.

My opinion is that the current 105 has nicer shifting than Dura Ace from ten years go. 7900 wasn't great. 9000 was an improvement, but 9100 is king. R8000 Ultegra and R7000 105 were the 'trickle down' and just as good with slightly less fancy materials and a few extra grams

Sorry if this was posted and discussed already. Just thought this could be a fun discussion.

Just wondering what everyone else's opinion of Shimano going with Di2 (electronic) only for their new Dura Ace and Ultegra group sets.

This will certainly bring up the cost for those who wanted Ultegra, but don't really need Di2. I guess they already have the 105 option.

Do you think this was a good move, and what do you think it means for the future of cycling if they are  going with only electronic shifting?

What does everyone think about the new Dura Ace and Ultegra being Di2 only?

Hey, great to hear that you are looking to buy a road bike! I think road riding is the most fun type of riding. As for the bike, in my opinion it is most important to get a bike with a good quality frame that fits you well. Parts such as the groupset or the wheels are not the most important, even though many people will look at these parts first when they want to buy a new bike.

 I don't think it is neccesary to get a bike with an expensive Di2 groupset, mechanical works just fine as well. The 105 mechanical groupset is also of very good quality, I had it on my previous bike and I experienced no problems with it at all. Shifting is good, the only reason why it is cheaper than mechanical Ultegra or Dura Ace is because of the weight. 

 Shifting is good, the only reason why it is cheaper than mechanical Ultegra or Dura Ace is because of the weight. 

I've been obsessively shopping for my first completely unnecessary proper road bike purchase. Pretty much confused and looking for the support of the online mob - LBS are in the area but I don't really enjoy the experience, in the main feel a lack of interest unless your a cashed up known rider looking to spend $10k+ etc plus they don't carry stock anyway. 

Background: I'm 38 and have been into endurance running for last 10 years branching from trail to the odd marathon and 100km event. I played around with MTB for a while but I lack the technical ability/courage to fully enjoy the down, relatively I crush the climbs. 

Then last winter I splurged out on a Kickr Core for cross training and got myself a second-hand undersized aluminium BMC Teammachine. That was ok, interest probably  dropped off in the end due to the excessive sweat challenges! When summer rolled around I've found myself on the road and loving it (except for working with/against the local traffic)... time will tell if that is maintained but the wallet is open.

I'm 183cm (6ft) / 84cm inseam (33") and very lightweight, 66kg (145)

I live in a valley and an average weekend ride being 60-80km with 1,000-1,300m (4000ft) elevation gain on rolling country roads (only fair quality and condition). Given my running this wouly likely increase with my ability. I don't see club rides (I never group run) or races in my future, or cross over to gravel (my MTB is a Scott Spark so I have that XC capability)... I just want a comfortable and capable road companion

I'd initially corned myself into the "endurance" bike market, but you read the odd commentary that the "race" road bikes are being more comfortable and capable as an all-round bike. Plus they look a whole lot better for your coin. Just concerned the 'fair quality' country roads may find them out a bit

I set out with the goal of going carbon and getting onto disc brakes, I'm not a massive fan of the rim brakes after coming from MTB. Groupset probably can only justify mechanical but if I did find a buy with Di2 I'm almost future-proofed?

If I was going to spend say $5k AUD new/used/runout initially I was keen to get something hot that wasn't necessarily a Giant... maybe a Specialized or European brand that looks every bit its cost and at the very least will look hot on the wall!

Yet at this stage after many U turns I'm looking down the barrel of the Giant Defy models. Value speaks volumes, so do the reviews, and the metallic/black bikes look fine, I just hate the two toned paint jobs in green and oranges! Reminds me of my first hardtail MTB. I was all over a 2021 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0 (used) at $5k but after reading up on sizing the Large size looked like it might be just a bridge too far for me, and I cant test it as it is out of state.

Throwing that out the window... hit me with suggestions? are you a similar rider, what do you ride?

Thanks all for reading...

First Real Road Bike

I have a 2017 bianchi aluminium road bike (endurance model) I would actually love to do it with that bike. I love the bike. It is firmly build and has basic technology (rim brakes, cables outside the drone, Shimano 105). With a little bit adjusting, and packing very light, I think I could manage all my luggage on it (front fork bags, handle bar bag, top tube bag and saddle bag)

Novara was a REI brand they are solid and good value. This does have 10 speed Shimano 105 which is a good drivetrain at this price. Not too old aluminium frame and carbon fork from a decent brand like Novara is also good for the price, I found it as a 2009 model on Google.
