I haven’t had a road bike in over 12 years, and this 1500 came in on a trade the other day. I stripped the bike down and added a few go fast bits we had around the shop. Super happy on how this turned out, it’s sitting right at 19lbs.

Hello, I have a roughly $2500-3000 budget for a new bike and kit. I have found a Domane AL 4 Gen 4 for $1200. Is it wise to buy that and spend the rest of my budget on good kit ie bike computer, lights, pedals, shoes.

Or should I spend $2500 on the SL4 Gen 5 and just skimp out on the rest of the kit. What is more important.

My gut is going with AL4 and buying some quality kit. I am a entry-level cyclist coming from a trail and ultra running background.

Been Waiting for MONTHS for Trek to re-release since finishing the Legacy Ride Challenge —50 rides for Trek’s 50th! on July 30th, 2026

I'm looking for a front pizza or porteur rack that can be used with panniers. From what I'm reading online, a lot of racks require modifications or creative workarounds to fit the bike's front fork, but I was hoping that there was a product out there that can be installed straight out of the box and doesn't require me to bend the rack or make any weird modifications.

What would be a fair price to offer for this bike on FBMP?

Tomorrow, we're going to mundhum trail who want to join?

A few months in to my 2026 Checkmate M/L, replacing a 2022 Domane.

Prismatic to Trek Black.

Fitted with 40mm Pirelli Cinturatos, measuring 42mm.

2x AXS Force Road. There is about 5mm clearance between the FD battery and tire if you’re wondering like I was (see pic).

The frame bag fits tighter, I didn’t adjust it properly after a bike wash.

The bike absolutely flies.

I’m 72” on the nose. Fitted with 170mm cranks. I’ll drop the cockpit soon.

I have a set of the Aeolus Elite 35 wheels on my road bike. Curious if anyone has switched over to Fillmore valves and had success. Not sure if the valves are compatible with the plastic rim strip.

I've been looking at getting a new Trek FX Sport 3, but it is pushing my budget. Today, I saw this older FX 3 posted to marketplace by a local bike shop. Apparently the bike has been tuned and such. But I'm not familiar enough with the used market to know if this is a fair deal or not. Hoping to get some opinions.

I recently bought this Trek Marlin 5 (Gen 3), as I was looking to get back into Mountain Biking, It's been fantastic so far, rides like a dream, and helps make rides more fun. I have also done some upgrades such as;

Replaced stock pedals with Shimano PD-GR500

Replaced stock grips with Bontrager Trail XR Elites

Removed dork disk

Removed reflectors

In the future, I am definitely looking to upgrade the stock SR Suntour forks to the RockShox Judy Silver TK, and add a dropper post.

Overall, very happy with the bike for the price, and looking fowards to hitting some more complex trails with it!

I have a 06 or 07 7.2 Fx. I think it’s called steel blue. Can anyone recommended a touch up color? There’s greys and there’s blues. But not this one. Thanks.

I have been the owner of my Trek 1.2 road bike for the past 11 years. It has served me well over the years and literally thousands of miles of riding.

I would like to keep it and give it some upgrades.

It has all the original equipment on it, with the exception of the pedals and tires.

I want to change the 2x9 Shimano Sora to a Shimano 105 (cable operated) and i want to change the wheels from the 700cx23 to some more modern carbon wheels that can use rim brakes and can accept a 25mm or 28mm wide tire...

My tire width is a lot harder to find in store these days as the super skinny tires have seemed to have gone to the way side. Sure there are online options but I will have to buy new wheels altogether since the brake surface has worn thin through the years and it will eventually become too thin to hold the pressure of the tire and my weight riding it.

Advice on compatibility, would like a bit wider gear range than I currently have as where I am located has both very steep mountain climbs and very flat long straights (South Korea)
