Loose crankshaft?
I'm new to cycling and I have a 2014 Opus Allegro 3.0
I noticed this yesterday....is this normal? Seems to have play in the crankshaft, like it's missing a bushing or something. The bike rides fine ..
Thanks

Yeah, no, that's not good. Can't tell you how to fix it without knowing more about your bottom bracket, but I'm going to guess you won't have the tools for it anyway. Find a bike store with a friendly mechanic.

Yeah, you need to let someone look at it. Bike shop will tell you what it needs, usually for free. Make sure it's the mechanic though that you talk to.
There are quite a few things it could be, depending on what BB and crank you have. Otherwise more pics, vids and specs.
