there’s a huge difference between a weekend warrior cyclist and a person who bikes to work, weekend warriors are 50/50 cool with bike advocacy or just actual conservatives because they still drive to their jobs during the week

yeah! it’s a polo bike they’re weird and i know next to nothing about them lol

the only way to get a 1” threaded fork with disc mounts would be to weld a mount onto your current fork and find a disc hub with 100mm spacing and a nutted axle tho

a lot of cyclists sell off their saddles that don’t fit so you can always get them secondhand for maybe a third of msrp though

the best way to avoid pain on long rides is getting a proper saddle and bike shorts with chamois, padded saddles won’t do much after enough distance

my personal favourite saddles are the selle italia slr and fizik antares, but they’re fairly pricey

most trainers will work as long as his bike has the standard 130mm dropouts (easy way to tell is if it’s a 6 speed or more in back)

assuming it’s still in the factory config, try moving the saddle forwards a bit, that’ll net you a more upright position and get you closer to the bars
