Hello all. I currently have a Trek Pilot 1.2 Road Bike with flat bar. I’m looking to upgrade to a drop bar road bike. I have a 75 km bike event coming up in June and I also plan on biking everyday once summer hits (I’m in Canada). I currently have two options. My budget is 1200 CAD but I am willing to spend a few hundred more. I plan on keeping this bike for years.
Option 1: Triban RC 520 Shimano 105
Option 2: Trek Domane AL 2 Rim
Does anyone have any other recommendations? How are these two bikes? My current bike is my first bike and I’m somewhat familiar with bikes but looking to this sub for expert opinions.
