I guess this has probably been asked about a million times before, sorry!

I have a supersix 3, slightly too big for me (56, 5ft 10), and want to downsize. Ive done LEJOG with it and had really no complaints other than shoulder and neck aches from the bike being too big, rather than the flexibility- no back pain or anything.

I want a lightweight ish bike, that can fit gravel 35mm for abit of offroad, but can holds its own on decents being super fun. I love too do small-ish trips traversing 500mile+ up and down mountains, mainly roady.

But… I also want it too be able to do abit of bikepacking when required.

I feel in the dark whether the supersix is too sporty for this, as my problems were down to the bike being too big I suspect.

Basically a fun and sporty bike, decent clearences and comfortable- so something like the aeroad would be too sporty.

the scott addict is a good choice, endurance, ultimate, grizl. all have 35mm from user experience- reddit posts. Anyone with any knowledge can help me? The grizl seems more sporty than the endurance thats why I mentioned it. I still found the supersix abit twitchy so would like to switch brand.

I will probably add my own clip ons aswell with a custom roadbar setup.
