I have a chance to get one of these, completely built, and I know nothing about them. Can someone school me on them please?

Free? Pick it up.

The geometry chart won't even load on their site. I personally think they look horrible.

Second it that it is an ugly ass bike. But, everyone has different taste.

I'm looking to trade a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 for this fresh built Throne Track Lorde II.






Specs:
Frame & Fork: $389
Rims: Fyxation Anodized Black Wheels: $180
Thickslick Tires: $80
Pedals: Blackops: $30
Straps: Holdfast: $57
Stem: Fyxation: $44

Seatpost: $30
Chain: Half Link: $27
Bartape: $20
Bottom Bracket: Trutiva: $19
Saddle: Brooks B-17 Saddle: $130

All I know is that it is fugly.

What are the components on that Bianchi? To me, that sounds like a bad trade for a few reasons, unless you are trading the road bike for the fixed gear+money. I don't ride my road bike often but having a road bike with solid components can be awesome for hill days, particular workouts, riding with faster riders, and getting to race a lot more often. Unless you have another road bike, you might want to just buy a fixed gear instead of trade for it. They are both excellent tools and having one of each can be advantageous and fun.

Having said that, if you're going to give up gears, I hope it would be in exchange for a great frame with great components, very much unlike the Throne bike above.

That is not an even trade if you ask me. The Brooks saddle is a nice saddle, but aside from that, the components on that bike don't stand out, and are not that great. The bike looks extremely small in comparison to your Bianchi. Have you ridden it already?

Brooks B17 is the worst saddle to pair with that build. Aesthetically speaking...

The Bianchi has an upgraded full carbon/carbon steering fork, Mavic Open 4 wheels laced to Dura Ace hubs, Sora group but I've upgraded the rear derailleur to an Ultagra, 3T stem, Ritchey Logic bars 44mm, carbon seat post and Bontrager saddle.

It's actually my winter/beater/back up/training bike. I have a full carbon Fuji that's my main ride. The reason I'm looking at the Throne is because I had a Bianchi Pista that I sold and now regret. I never rode in fixed, but used it as a single speed to train on. I noticed a huge improvement when I got back on my Fuji after riding the Pista single speed. I had way more power, using the Pista to train on. That's why I'm looking at trading the Bianchi for the Throne.

And both bikes are the same size.

Well, if you ask me, you are going to lose out by trading the Bianchi for that. Yours is far better spec'ed out, and to be honest, it is not an even trade. I would ask for money on their end. I can understand wanting a fixed gear, but if you are going to trade, make sure it is an even trade unless you don't care.

All good advise everyone, thank y'all.

He's asking $900 for his. You yall are saying mine is worth more, what price point should I be looking in?

$900 for that Throne??? Nope. You can find better bikes out there for that money.

I agree 100%. Looks like it belongs on a nice cruiser, not a track bike. Having ridden a friends SE Lager with one on there, it was comfortable. Looks terrible though.

No but the Throne is probably worth $400

Any advice what mines worth?

All day, every day.

The blue book says about $400 in like new condition. It also depends on market. Where I live I I think you could get $500-600 with the upgrades but the Sora makes it less desirable especially if it's older Sora with thumb buttons. I would sell it/trade it with the original wheels if you still have them and sell the mavic/DA wheels separately or keep them for another bike or spare set.

Bad deal! Don't do it! You'll be trading for another person's mistake.

The throne is another drop in the enormous cheap aluminum track frame bucket that is currently inundating the bike market....
They, including throne and the likes of leader, unknown, state, aventon, crew bike etc. ratty bike brands that simply get shipped here and get decals slapped on are all made by PCO.....

The nirone is a great bike with awesome geometry, I personally had one myself cept in black/celeste/ silver. The throne on the otherhand is a cobbled together mess with a ultra-long TT that's fit for an orangatang as a result of throne wanting paying more attention to avoiding toe overlap (oooh sooo scary) than human proportions.

Who the **** lists the price of the bar tape when selling a bike? That thing is a junky aluminum turd.

Then perhaps you should get another Bianchi Pista. If you don't want to sell it or eBay it, then perhaps you could trade it with a shop for a new Pista that you buy from them. You wouldn't get as much as if you sold it but you would walk away with the Pista. Trading for the Throne would be a major mistake.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I posted this in here. I will not be trading for the Throne.

Thanks again!

Smooth welds and sharp edges....LMFAO

Insurance agents. Or people trying to inflate the value of their bike.

Do it OP. Get rid of that choad bike and get some zen in your life.
