Hello, So I’m on the market for a new bike, I’m currently on a Specialized Tarmac Pro (2015) very nicely custom build I bought from quite cheap second hand. Love it is fast and fun, but it kills my writs and numbs my balls. I did a bike fit, drop to the handlebars was too much, so we moved the ste…

Do you know which one? I looked thru a few of the last podcast descriptions but didn’t see anything related to that

Specialized pricing is a bit bonkers, but the Roubaix is a great bike too. It’s pretty upright in stock form (riser bars, positive angle stem). I have a 2021 Roubaix Expert with Di2 and it’s been great.

Yet another plug for my favorite bike geo site. Not only does Bike Insights have a great 1:1 geo comparison tool, but they offer grouped bike sets (like the “endurance” category essentially covered above) to see one of the largest compilations of options in a given category. Endurance Ro…

I used bike insights for my initial research but it gives a giant 24 page list which most of it is nonsense, and you can’t filter further.

The Empire is their endurance road bike, but they recently released an aero bike (Veyo) but the geometry isn’t th…

@mcneese.chad it still gives a really long list and it’s impossible to filter for common brands. There’s a lot of brands shown in there that are smaller and hard to get where I live (Netherlands). @rkoswald thanks for the tip, they look cool but I’m not in the US

Roubaix is another option like mentioned before, you also have good ones already listed. I’m gonna add a new unreleased one, so don’t quote me on anything about the bike since I don’t know much other than it’s going to be a more relaxed geo compared to the Melee which is the Enve Fray, but likely co…

Cervelo Caledonia (5) is a good option that can clear 35 mm tires.
