      I've been trying to buy either an Ostro Vam or Y1R for a while, but they are hard to come by here in the States. Every website either says "Comin Soon" or "Backordered". I guess these companies don't really want to sell bikes.
      Good job, Mr. G!

      Pretty interesting line-up. I am really interested in the Specialized tarmac. The only spec I can afford is the SL 8 Comp which comes in at 4200€ with aluminium wheels and with either 105 di2 or the new sram rival. Do you think it makes sense to go for this instead of a scott addict 30 which comes with similar specs for 500€ cheaper? Also it would be great if you could always suggest which spec to go for which gets the best value. Thanks and keep up the great work.

      I’m really looking forward to the new Scott Addict Endurance. Before I buy anything though, I’m waiting to see what Shimano does with their next-generation groupsets. I’m in my late 50s and trying to decide whether the more relaxed fit of the Addict is better for me, or if the Factor Monza is the way to go. My current bike is a 2006 Scott CR1 SL with full Dura-Ace, so I would stick with top-tier Dura-Ace again or at least Ultegra. The price isn’t the issue. The real challenge is choosing the bike that fits me best.

      The Adjustability of the saddle for the the Y1Rs is so small. i dont understand why no one is adressing that. people have to cut the tube if they need to reduce the saddle, that far is the problem. also the resale value goes down very fast

      As my first bike, i bought a 2017 venge with ultegra groupset that i got from facebook marketplace. I'm still getting used to the stiffness and wondering if i should stick with the 10-speed or upgrade to a 12/13-speed groupset?

      Help me choose I'm between the Factor Monza, And Specialized aethos. I want something confortable to have a long ride in a long ride with my older bike tarmac i started to have pain in the neck. I also really want the Scott addict because you talk to good about the bike but i cant find it no where.
