Looking to buy one bike to do it all. Narrowed it down to Marin Four Corners 2 or the Cannondale Topstone 2 – GRX400 version.
I'll be using this bike for an everyday downtown city commuter, fast road rides, gnarly gravel rides and 300-800km (180-500 miles) bikepacking trips on gravel road and rail trail.
From what I can tell the Marin will give me a more comfortable everyday ride, and hold up better over the long haul with the all steel frame, while the Topstone will be handle with better agility and get better speed when I put it into "sport mode".
Anything else ye mighty clever bike nerds might consider?
