Hey everyone! I’m looking to get my first proper road bike for general fitness rides (1–2 hours), commuting, and maybe training for a triathlon later on. I don’t need anything high-end, but I do care about getting the best value for the money.
Right now I’m between two options:
-
New Trek Domane AL 2 Gen 4 — 7,500 DKK (on sale)
• Brand new
• Shimano Claris 2×8
• Disc brakes
• More modern frame design
• Comes with warranty -
Used Trek Domane AL 3 Gen 3 — 6,600 DKK
• Good condition (see attached pictures)
• Shimano Sora 2×9
• disc brakes
• About 1.5 months listed for sale
• No warranty, obviously
⸻
I’m mainly wondering:
• Is the used AL 3 priced fairly, or should I offer less?
• Is the AL 2 Gen 4 actually the smarter buy because it’s new and only slightly more expensive?
• For someone who wants good value and doesn’t need anything fancy, which one makes more sense?
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
