Looks rather tasty… [image] 2021 Specialized Diverge gravel bike: first-ride review - CyclingTips Specialized has overhauled the Diverge for 2021. The third iteration of Specialized’s modern-day gravel bike arrives with a plentiful line-up to prove The Big S continues to be more than al…

[image] Pipipi: But then I see the price and give up. Multiple models and price points available. None line up or or compare to like products / your budget?

Comparing geo to my new Warbird, it’s almost like sizing down on the Diverge would be the “right” size for comparison (I typically ride 56). They seem to recommend the “same sizing” based on the frame size number. But some of the numbers seem interesting in the least. I’d have to pedal one around…

Totally my fault. I see the bit saying ‘prices from…1100’ and then it takes me a while to realise that all the nice extras are bumping the price up to 6700. (My fault for being a teacher I suppose is what my budget would say, if it could stop giggling. I ride a bike from 2012, no pm, an iPad 2 hand…

I’ve always liked hybrids :man_shrugging:

As the father of a daughter about to go to college to become a teacher (of which I am VERY proud), your post depresses the hell out of me. :pleading_face:

What, teachers are under-paid (and under-appreciated)… the heck you say :stuck_out_tongue: Seriously, thanks to any and all of you educators out there. You deserve much better :1st_place_medal:

And my oldest daughter just graduated with a degree in journalism…add them to the list of unappreciated / underpaid as well. I sincerely hope my third daughter goes into finance or something 'cuz otherwise there is gonna be no one to take care of me in my old age!! :flushed: :crazy_face:

The stack is high, but the numbers are a tad misleading in the sense that they aren’t measured like most frames. The stack on a normal road frame is without a headset or spacers. The stack on this and the Roubaix include the future shock and spacer required. So if you use spacers already, it’s reall…

oh, nothing wrong with them at all. I started my bike riding with a giant escape 3 back in 2013. Just didn’t get enough use once I got a road bike and then picked up my CX bike. In fact, I was almost going to convert the hybrid into a drop bar CX. My only thing with the hybrid is it was jack of all …

That Comp Carbon is the best value of the lot. Same frame as the top-end, but with a moderate build and BYOW (bring your own wheels). Still cant justify getting rid of my Crux though. Best all around gravel/cross/road bike Ive come across (for me).
