Hi, I'm in the market for my first "real" road bike and I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Superior RR 9.4 for 2400 euros. https://superiorbikes.com/be-fr/bikes/product/rr-9-4/1849?colorId=1786

It has a mechanical 105 groupset and wheels are made of shimano RS470 hubs + DT Swiss R500 rim.

What I appreciate the most about this bike is the threaded BB as I'm doing nearly all my maintenance by myself this cuts a bit of stress compared to working with pressfit BBs.

Also, living on the 5th floor without a lift I'll have to carry it up and down and it weighs ~9kg stock, I'm thinking with a pair of carbon wheels and a few weight weenie upgrades here and there will easily get it under 8kg.

Yes I'm aware rim brakes work well and would be lighter but I'm fine with a bit of weight for the added peace of mind about the rain.

Do you think it's a good value for a new bike ? I was looking at the used market too but I'm a bit concerned about buying a potentially damaged carbon…

EDIT : Added price + specs
