First ride on my new Core-5 this morning

Where did our bikes take us today?

Is anyone still riding fixed gear?

Pearls of knowledge..
👉Fit is #1! Budget for it and don’t get the cheap one.. more power, better position and won’t destroy your knees
💪🏻Power meter is priority #2
😉Helmet will do more in free speed and bang for the buck
💵Buy used as they lose value overnight
OSPW, BB, Di2, carbon wheels will all come with time. Pink Bike is a great spot to look
Or do what I did and get a second mortgage🤷♂️
My god those wheels 🤤🤤🤤
I like Option 1, but admit I’d have a hard time judging a pre-owned bike. If you’re more mechanically inclined, Optiom 2 will get you more for your spend.
I think Canyon Speedmax CF would also be a great option to look into, though I might budget for some new wheels.
I would buy used and maybe even buy it all separately and built up from frame.
I think tri and tt bikes can be had at a bargain used. You may want to upgrade parts after but I'd you know of what you are doing.

Thanks folks!
Where would you source a used bike from ? FB market place is kinda painful and I’m looking at local bike shops!
I’d check the Pro’s Closet for anything used. I think they guarantee/certify.
