Hey!
I want to become healthier so I’ve decided I will buy a bike and commit to commuting on it to school at least 2-3 days a week.
It’s around 4-5km ride one way, mostly bike lanes. But I would also love to do occasional weekend gravel/road rides with friends. For reference I’m 6ft1.
I’ve found this Trek Domane ALR from 2019 listed for $750. It is listed as is:
“Trek Domane ALR with endurance geometry, featuring a wider fork and rear triangle.
Aluminum frame, size L.
Carbon fork.
Currently fitted with 33mm Schwalbe G-One tires, but it easily fits Schwalbe G-One 28×1.5 (36mm) tires.
Drivetrain: full Shimano Tiagra 2×10.
Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes
Bike is in very good condition, regularly serviced. Fitted with new tires and brake pads. Thru-axles front and rear.
Includes bottle cage and pedals”
Is it a good deal? To me it seems like it suits my needs (especially being able to fit wider tires) and is also a nice frame with future upgrade potential but I know next to nothing about bikes, so am looking for help!
Thank you guys for your time

yup. that’s just a great bike. Price seems a little high, but not awful. Id try to talk them down. Depending on where you live and where you’ll store it all day that might be too nice. In a major metro that’s a too nice bike to be left locked up on the street all day.
Thats so nice. Totally get stolen here if you park on the street. Is there indoor parking available?
This is my commuter/catch all bike and it’s ace. Really comfortable for long rides and I always get comments on it 🙂 Fyi I easily got an extra 1+ inch width on the tyres. Chucked on a pair of gravel/endurance tyres, a rack, extra drink bottle cage, good to go. Have also taken it bikepacking with no dramas, although it’s a little “top heavy” when loaded up.
