Hey everyone, I have been riding the wrong size gravel bike for a couple of years that I bought during covid.
Within the past year, we have moved close to a rail trail that is paved and I have been putting in about a 100 miles a week and looking to do my first century ride.
I am looking to upgrade from my to big gravel bike, to a correct size road bike that has endurance geometry.
I am a fan of Canyon and like what they offer. Right now with their sale I can get one for $2,999 with comparable specs (I think) as the Roubaix.
The Roubaix is originally $4k, and now on sale for $3k. The damper in the headset and seat are pretty neat.
Im just wondering, what are some pros and cons, if any. And my second question is, is the Roubaix pretty much the Canyon, but with a "fancier" brand instead?
I have never spent $3k on anything in my life. My first car was a civic, and then a mustang, and then an integra, ALL under $2,500. Now that Im older (40M) everything is either mortgaged or leased lol. So I need some word of advice from people that arent trying to sell me the bikes lol.
Thanks again for taking the time to help.
