Both are good fits for me just can’t decide. I’ve heard the Niner is quicker handling.
I’ll be doing long gravel rides and occasionally on pavement. Hoping to enter some gravel races as well.
I had the same dilemma as you a couple of years ago and went with the RLT 9. I’ve got 6000 miles on a 4 star build with zero complaints. It’s a comfortable and indestructible frame set.
They are also priced much better for the component levels than warbirds especially considering they are often on sale for 30% + off. I have an aero road bike and the RLT 9 is only about 2mph slower on the road with 40mm tires.
