Hey all, hope yall doing well.
I made a post a few months back on this sub asking for opinions on decathlon bikes and the overall opinion was positive so i wanted to know if this bike which i almost have the money for would be good.
My knowledge on bike tech is almost non existant so im hoping maybe someone with more understanding on bikes than me can read the stats i included and evaluate if its good.
Ive also included a quick simulated route i plan to take for the trip and ive talked about it before (if you check my profile). I thought of including it because i know the distance i plan to travel also determines the bike i should take. Some have said to get steel frame but over here they are either too expensive or not common on facebook marketplace.
I have also checked facebook marketplace and safe to say its either not my size or not what im looking for but mainly not my size (im not tall lol).
So what are yall thoughts on this bike? I think it looks nice and its a gravel bike so its extra nice (to me) but im not experienced in touring so i dont know between whats good and whats not good.
Im happy to answer questions regarding the trip, route, anything really.
Thanks guys👍

I think it’s a nice bike that would be fun to ride unloaded, however it’s not super burly so you should be careful not to pack too much. If you can pack light and you intend to ride it a lot when you’re not touring it would be a good choice. If the main use is touring and you want to bring a lot of junk you should probably look at something heavier duty.
