I'm coming from 2013 Specialized Crux Elite. I first bought the Diverge last week and then saw the Warroad today and….ended up buying it also.
It's too cold to really give both bikes a spin but I'd appreciate any thoughts or input from the crew here (besides me being a dumbass and buying 2 used bikes within the span of a week).
I'd consider myself a novice ish rider, looking to pump out a lot more miles this year. On the Crux I normally stick to pavement as I live in a more populated area but am looking to try more gravel routes and rougher terrain this year.
2022 Specialized Diverge Elite
- color: lagoon blue
- extremely low mileage…looks brand new
- Group set: 2by Shimano GRX RX400
- hydraulic brakes
- wheel size 650b
- price: $1000
- 2 previous owners but the most recent owner never road it. Stayed in a storage unit. It's for some minor wear but the carbon looked good to me.
- group set: 1by SRAM force
- hydraulic brakes
- wheel size 650b
- Price: $1100
This is gonna sound realllly really stupid but as much as I love the brightness of the Diverge I didn't love the color. It sounds boring but I really liked the black on the salsa with the colorful line work. More subtle.
Also wanted to try a carbon bike.
Anyways, while I wait for temps to rise, what do you guys think is the better option to keep?
