Hello, i wanted to ask for advice from people who ordered this bike before or other suggestions from bikepackers. I'm planning trip over 2500km. Leaving somewhere in the middle of august. The website says that its cooming soon on july 1-12. After loking around on the internet i found people saying that even when it becomes available its hard to order on time since many people are waiting for these bikes. Is this really true? Because I'm not certain if i want to wait that long only to get a chance in the lottery of ordering it. If that's the case then maybe someone can sugest other bikes?
I chose this bike because after trip this would be my main bike and it meets my needs and wants on paper. (I don't have any chance of trying any bike before buying, I live in a small town)
My budget is around 2000-2500eur.
Planning to ride on paved roads and fine gravel roads.
2 chainrings is must.
I will be going through some mountains but only on good roads.
I weight 70kg.
My gear could weight 18-20kg. In total that includes bags.
This is not my first gravel bike.
ONLY EUROPEAN MARKET. I live in Lithuania 🇱🇹.
Thank you for your time.
