Hello, I am shopping between an X1 and X3 in the US. My LBS has older X1 models for $2,999 (FB Marketplace ~$2300). But I found what appears to be a new 2026 X3 (Sharing the frame of X5 in the new models) for only $500 more.
I was originally thinking of getting the cheaper X1 and then upgrading it, but this may be a better starting point.
I'm 5'7 so I was looking for a 51.5 since 52 fit me fine on a Roubaix.
I have read good reviews from Bike-room, but I have a few concerns. They only have 1 photo listed and I worry about shipping overseas.
Any ideas or thoughts? I'm looking for an endurance bike around this price and I really like the pinarello brand and look. I'm conceding that I could probably get a better value with another brand, but I would still be open for your suggestions!
