Doing a 50 km daily commute several times a week made me want a faster bike than my 16 kg flatbar trekking workhorse with front suspension. However I didn't want to compromise on practicality compared to what I had : hydraulic brakes, enough gears for any situation, dynamo front and rear lights, a solid rear rack and a kickstand. So I ended up buying a used Cube Nulane C:62 SLT, then converted it to a drop bar fast urban commuter with used and new parts (thanks to Bike Discount, Bike Components and Lordgun for being reliable european e-shops).
Final weight is 11kg all included, pretty happy about that. And the lack of chainguards (the only thing I lost) forced me to convert the drivetrain to Silca wax lube because I needed to avoid stains. Worked so well I waxed all the family's bikes !
Side note : what is now a Cube Nuroad C:62 FE doesn't exist in Cube's lineup, as they don't make any FE version of the Nuroad C62. There might be other buyers interested though !

Carbon gravel bike with kickstand mount. Damn kinda jealous although sports riding people tend to diss kickstands. Seems like only thing left are radar and some panniers.
I never own a carbon bike so are you worried about damaging it?
