I currently have [Giant Escape Disc 2](https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/escape-disc-2-2022) bike. I’ve had it for about 6 years. I probably put in about 1000-1500 miles per year on it. I primarily use my bike for urban commuting. I’m not lance Armstrong. I’m not doing intense workouts where I’m competing for time or max speed. I bike around because I just genuinely enjoy biking like most of you. It gets me places and adds a bit of cardio to it on top of that.
I’m wondering if I’m missing anything and if so how much, by getting a better bike? Again I don’t speak or understand all the nuances or how important things are like carbon vs aluminum and everything else.
I’d again be using it to bike around the city at 100-150 miles per month. How much would one of these $4000 bikes help?
