So I've been debating between these two bikes from Decatholon:
Triban RC520: https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8542655/men-s-road-bike-shimano-105-rc-520-blue
EDR AF 105: https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8529300/edr-af-105-road-bike
My preference is to go with a more relaxed geometry as I'm looking for longer rides rather than going fast. But I'm confused. From the measurements, it seems like the "Road bike" RC520 is actually more relaxed than the "Enudrance bike" EDR AF 105?!? Am I right or am I reading the numbers wrong? Specifically I'm comparing Head tube length, Head tube angle, and chain stay length, so let me know if I should be looking at other dimensions.

RC520 is more relaxed than the EDR. “Endurance” and “road” need to be taken with a handful of salt. The EDR is a relaxed race bike, and the RC520 is a endurance comfort bike.
Personally, I’d get the EDR since it is an exceptional bike at an exceptional price (I think the 105 R7000 rim brakes are excellent even in wet weather), but if you’re looking to ride in very wet conditions and would like more stopping power then consider the RC520 for its disc brakes.
Can’t go wrong with either bike. Test ride both to see which fits you better.
