Hi All, I have been deliberating over a new road bike for years now but am just too indecisive! I am hoping to take advantage of some winter offers and get something ordered over the next few weeks. I am looking to spend about £3-4K for carbon, 105 Di2 and disc brakes. I do a fair amount of mileage but sit at a desk all week so want a fairly upright endurance frame and not a race frame. I have been looking at the below options and would be grateful for your opinions please, or any other recommendations.
Canyon Endurance CF SLX 7 – I nearly bought one of these in the sale but they ran out of my size (Large) before I committed https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/road-bikes/endurance-bikes/endurace/cf-slx/endurace-cf-slx-7-di2/3710.html?dwvar_3710_pv_rahmenfarbe=R077_P01&dwvar_3710_pv_rahmengroesse=L
Pearson Forge – I don't know much about Pearson so any feedback would be gratefully received, looks like they have a good sale on atm – https://www.pearsoncycles.com/products/forge-105
Ribble Allroad – This is the current favourite I think as it seems to be incredible value. https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-allroad-sl-pro/
I was originally keen on a Planet X EC-130 or a Ribble Endurance but the geometry for both looks far too aggressive for me.

If you are looking to spend that much money, have you had a bike fit?
If you get a decent bike fit, they will recommend something that they can get to fit you and fits within your budget.
I thoroughly recommend checking out Fairlight, not Carbon, Steel bikes. Highly customisable. [https://fairlightcycles.com/strael-3-0/](https://fairlightcycles.com/strael-3-0/)
