Hello guys I am planning to buy a bike for touring. The most solid options available to me are:
1. Marin Nicasio+ 650B 2025 Gravel Bike, Blue | Bikeinn – This bike is currently on a discount and costs me about 1000 euros. I can split the payment and get it.
I am concerned about the groupset and bike overall. Marin is a good brand but I have not tried it.
- Bergamont Grandurance 4 – This is a bike available to me locally and cost about 740 euros. and comes with a Sora. The payment here is all together but doesn't matter.
I would like to know which one I should buy for touring. I will be doing some light trails and some beaches. I would like to invest in a good long term bike. I am not sure about microshift sword and the overall performance, I have used shimano a lot. Will Sora be a good choice? Between Marin and Bergamount which one is better and what would you get?
Please let me know your thoughts.
