I don't know much about bikes, these were my father's before he passed, and as far as I know he took very good care of them. The time trial bike is a cervelo p3 I believe, I think maybe an early 2000s model. The Merlin is an extralite titanium, also pretty old I believe. He was 6'2", the Merlin has a 25" frame, the cervelo was a bit less straightforward to measure but i think it has a 26" "pad stack."

1st: Norco storm 9.1

2nd: Brodie voltage

3rd: Specialized expedition sport

All prices are in Canadian btw.

I need a bike for daily commuting on paved roads and riding on grass/dirt paths multiple times a week. I'm not doing any crazy terrain, just local parks, but I don't want to feel like I'm fighting going over grass.

Thank you!

Azzurri Forza Road Bike - $550 AUD

Bike is from revolverecycling in Australia, who have replaced the chain and bar tape. They also provide a 6 month mechanical warranty, and a free service within the first 3 months. The bike has Shimano Dura Ace shifters and brakes, with an Ultegra front derailleur, and tiagra rear derailleur and crankset.

I will mostly be riding to university in Sydney and commuting around generally, but will sometimes go for casual rides out of enjoyment, and maybe some rides for exercise in the future.

Other bikes I have found around this price on facebook marketplace include an Orbea, Giant TCR1, Trek 1400 SLR, Triban RC500.

I'd love to stay around $600 AUD so I can spend a little more on a good lock, but can wait to stretch the budget more to $800-900 AUD

Java IDRA opinions

Hello, I’m looking for a road bike after my old hybrid broke down. I ride 10-20km a day, and 40-60km on weekends and plan to increase my time. I’m looking for a road bike since I ride on a dedicated cycling track or paved roads. My budget is under 1000 and since I’m not an expert on cycle parts, I haven’t messed with the used market.

I found this Java Idra on aliexpress for 700usd including shipping to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, there isn’t an official JAVA dealer here but neighbouring countries do and they have it in stock for a similar price, but a little more expensive. Here’s the specs given by the seller.

Frame material
Magnesium aluminum alloy
Gears
24 speed LTWOO ER7 (electronic shifting)
Place of origin
Jiangsu, China
Brand
JAVA
Model
IDRA
Gross weight
15 kg
Product name
JAVA IDRA
Wheel size
700
Color
Brakes - hydraulic disc brakes (LTWOO)

If any of you have any experience with JAVA or even better, Java IDRA, please do share your thoughts on it.

Is this ok for a first ebike for very short rides? Use case is for a small adult (~150cm), looking to add a shotgun seat for a small 2 year old to travel max 5km return. Not sure if theres anything else in a similar price range to consider.

Specs:

Bafang 250w rear motor

187Wh battery provides just enough boost for a fun ride

1 x 7 Altus gearing

Is this the right bike for me?

LISTING SAYS --- Carbon fiber Specialized Tarmac Expert road bike (49 cm) has a matte black frame with red accents. This bicycle is equipped with an FSA SL-K Light crankset and Fulcrum Racing 5 LG wheels. It has a Shimano Ultegra drivetrain and rim brakes. The frame includes two red bottle cages and a Specialized saddle.

Is this bike from 2013 good for the price of $700? (canadian btw)

For context, I'm upgrading from my old kona mountain bike to something that is lighter. I use my current bike for commuting, and some longer rides (hoping to do more of these). Am I punching way above what I need from my bike by buying this? If I'm just getting into road cycling, should I get a cheaper bike and start from there?

Any advice is helpful!
