Hey, got this bad boy for 700€ yesterday. I’ve been told it’s a 2013 model, bike was bought brand new in 2016, Shimano 105 groupset. Was it a good buy?
This is my 3rd roadie so far – used to have a Scott Speedster 20 with 105 onboard and an older Trek 5200 with ages old Ultegra group. While this bike looks much more modern, I’m not sure about the comfort – a 20 years old Trek felt good and “softer” on holes and obstacles around the city, but one day after riding the new bike my lower back is killing me 😄 Hence a question to the community – has anyone had the similar experience with this bike? It’s just the beginning of a cycling season for me, so it might be just me out of shape after winter. I’m an amateur who cycled on mtbs all my life and just picked up roadbikes as a hobby in 2023. One of those, who’ve never tried cycling shoes – just wear my Nikes on clipless shimano pedals. Personal record is 250km a day on that 20y.o Trek 🙂
