Hi all,
I have been very fortunate to receive a gift of a new (for me) bike to ride for RAGBRI. I'm looking for more of a catchall between a road and packed gravel for rides. I have a gift card for The Pros Closet to use to purchase a new bike, and my budget is between $2500 and $3000.
Saw these three options and would love the community opinons of which one to go with.
(1) Trek Emonda ALR Road Bike – 2019, heard good things, comes with Roval Alpinist CL Carbon wheelset aftermarket upgrade.
(2) Specialized Roubaix Sport Road Bike – Road the Specialized Roubaix for years as a frankenbike.
(3) Trek Boone Disc Cyclocross Bike – 2020 – Heard good things about this as a catchall, comes with a Zipp 202 Firecrest Carbon wheelset aftermarket upgrade.
