Yeah it’s just about where the diminishing returns are. I can probably swing the cost of either option but is it worth $2k. Sounds like yes for di2 but no for future shock 2.0

Trek FX3's don't lose value all that quickly, if there's no damage you could probably sell it on Craigslist for $650-$700 and only lose a bit. Chalk it up to experience. That said, I was in a similar...

Yeah I agree they need to add something in between PR and KOM. Like rolling 7 day leaders. Would be fun if you could compete socially as a beginner/intermediate.

Interesting responses. I’ve tried the Sponeed and the Prz bibs. The Prz is actually okay, the Sponeed fits correctly in the legs but are a little looser in the waist. Both have nice gel pads but I’ve...

What is with the offbrand cycling apparel that is sold on Amazon: Sponeed, Przewalski, Baleef, Spotti etc

Part of this is diplomatic, if I buy a new bike and don't end up doing much road biking, I would get so much grief from my DW. If I buy used, then it was a frugal decision.
