Looking to replace my Cube Attain GTC Pro (stolen). The bike will be used all year round for commuting in London (approx. 30km/day), occasional road-bikepacking trips, and for weekend riding when the weather is grim. Must have:
– Shimano 105 or equivalent
– Mudguard and rack mounts
– Road-oriented geometry
– Size XL
Budget is around £1600 new. I’ve been considering a few steel options but open to carbon, as well as gravel bikes. Does anyone have experience with the bikes listed? Keen to know what other options are out there!
