Hi everyone, I’m on the hunt for a new road bike and I’ve been exploring some options with electronic shifting. I’m not entirely sure if making the switch now is the best move or if I should hold off for a bit. I’ve stumbled upon a few secondhand options within my budget of around €2500 and I could really use your expertise in figuring out which features to prioritize.
[MMR GRAND TOUR 10](https://imgur.com/a/Nl0pEZ4) (€ 2500)- This bike boasts a Sram Rival AXS 12-speed groupset and is paired with DT Swiss Spline P-1800 DB 32 12-12 wheels. Visually, it’s quite appealing to me and the crank is also brand new (tags are still on the crank).
[Argon18 nitrogen](https://imgur.com/a/7QLJmvy) (€ 2500) – This one has the Sram Red E-Tap 11 groupset and Dt-Swiss PRC1400 Carbon wheels. The post also mentions recent servicing and new tires, which is a plus.
[Giant TCR Advanced Pro 0](https://imgur.com/a/6kxpSxc) (€ 2750) -Equipped with Sram Etap Axs 12 and featuring a Quarq powermeter left-right, this bike comes with both carbon and aluminum wheel sets. Initial photos showcase carbon wheels, but this prices is with aluminium wheels that are not pictured (I can probs ask for pictures though).
[Willier Cento 10 AIR](https://imgur.com/a/HCfGA8P) (€ 2150) – Sram Red eTap 2×11 speed setup, Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-25 cassette, and Sram Red 172.5MM crank with Quarq powermeter, this bike also includes a Vittoria Qurano 46/42 wheelset.
Considering my options, I’ve also come across some non-electronic shifting bikes at lower prices, such as the Orbea Orca Aero M20 at €2000 with carbon wheels, the Scott Addict RC 15 at €1900 featuring di2 instead of Sram, and the Scott Foil 30 priced at €1600 with carbon wheels but mechanical shifting.
The array of choices has me feeling a bit overwhelmed, especially in terms of long-term durability and performance. I’m open to any insights you can offer to help me make an informed decision. Thanks in advance for any input
