Chain dropped while shifting the front derailleur on an incline and just found the damage :(

Time to say goodbye to my beloved SL6, this is the bike that really got me into cycling and did 17k km since buying it used at the end of 2023. Such beautiful lines and always loved the clear carbon paint job with chameleon writing. Will be in mourning for a couple days and think about what frame this could be replaced with

An S Works SL5 with a full Campagnolo Chorus 11 speed set up no pedals

It has 12/29 cassette and 52/36 chainset with 172.5 cranks

This is a 54cm frame which is just too small for me

Comes with the bombproof Campagnolo Eurus wheels

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking at buying what’s being advertised as a S-Works Tarmac SL4 Contador Limited Edition, and I wanted to get some opinions before I make a potentially expensive mistake.

The seller claims it’s a Contador Limited Edition frame, with:

S/N: WSBC6040046991

SKU: 77014-0054

Comes with a certificate

unfortunately my uncle passed away recently. something he left behind for me was his bike. im taking in the condition it is now. he must of been in the middle of working on it during his passing. i searched high and low all over his house and no luck finding any parts for it. my concern is the area where the pedals go. i dont even know where to begin as i have no experience with these bikes. pictured is everything have for it. any advice and help is greatly appreciated!

I love 2010s specialized

I’ve been trying to marketplace shop and they’re are so many different models to choose from and I’m not knowledgeable enough for the overlap. Especially with sales going on for brand new bikes, it’s making any decision really difficult for me. Stumpy alloy 15 is 2200, status 140 coming in at 2k, I see a 2023 evo comp alloy stumpy on marketplace rn (that I’d like help with an offer for). Outside of the base stumpy, which should be the do it all here, I think they’re all flirting with playful crossovers.

I’m in Pennsylvania, my local trails aren’t very demanding but I can get into some technical, rocky riding within 1-3 hours. I’m going to be doing my fair share of pedaling but my focus is going up to go down. I think the regular stumpy is the ticket but can’t help thinking about other models like a used evo comp or the status sound like fun platforms.

Any input between these or pricing help on the picture would be very much appreciated! Thanks

New bike and build day for my friend's wife (it is a weddig gift!)

This is Specialized Allez E5 Smartweld SL Multicolor MY2014, colour scheme.

I found it 2nd hand market: Rare condition, No paint demage, any strach or etc. The paint looks like new. But the headset was rusted and didn't turn smooth well, changed them new one (41. 8 mm new upper, 49 mm bottom)

Anyway removed all parts (Campagnolo 11-speed group & wheelset Chorus, Athena, Potenza mixed and gave them back to the previous owner, He wanted them for new bike) assembled with Shimano 105 R7000 grupset (exluded crankset & BB, We choiced Praxis Works Zayante and matched BB30 shell) and Campagnolo Zonda C17 wheels, ZİPP Service Course SL seatpost (Zero offset) & stem (90 mm) and Giant Contact SL Ergo handlebar (looks like Specialized Shallow Bend 2024 Alloy Expert), wrapped SUPACAZ sticky cush bar tape and matched bottom cage.

İt is 8300 gr!

Enyoy the photos!

Hi everyone, I've noticed that the Brose motor on my 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy (Gen 3) makes a clicking sound right after the assistance cuts off.

Is this normal?

When rolling my bike backwards, I noticed this clunking noise, wondering if it’s normal? To be honest, I don’t remember hearing it before. It’s a brand new Turbo Levo 4 Comp.
