    I purchased my first road bike ever. I got it off FB Marketplace from a dude for nine hundred, the thing weighs 10 lbs! I can't wait to learn how to ride! Any tips for a first-time rider?

    • Use your bicycle as much as you can, for everything, and don't hang it up... It's one of those things that costs little money and is enjoyed for life.OBBTKN
    • The butcher shop is only 50 meters from home... Well, I usually go on my bike. Friends laugh, but it's good for me to train my skills with shopping bags, lol.OBBTKN
    • Thanks OBB I’m excited. Big scene here by the beach in SoCal and my dad is really happy to see since he was a competitive rider back in his dayHijoDMaite
    • Take it to a shop and get it properly fitted.duckseason
    • Check some of the measurements against these specs it will tell you what size it is... head tube is a good place to checkBuddhaHat

    • HED components on a 105 mechanical groupset is a totally decent ride! ways to make it fit include shortening stem and moving saddle forward in the railsBuddhaHat
