Thinking of my n+1 situation rationally for a bit… it might be prudent to go like
@Eye-Q with a gravel machine and two sets of wheels, especially since the grail does now come in a very nice setup (rival etap xplr with power meter, well chosen wheels). It’s even sort of available maybe. But the available color is shit („sand“, yes it’s as boring as it sounds).
sooo…
@Eye-Q how has your experience been, anything you wish you’d known before? Anything that’d make you buy something else next time round? How „weird“ is the handlebar in day to day use? that’s what weirds me out the most tbh…
in the end, mostly just a theoretical thought. I’d have the money, but I’m not sure another bike is sensible what with the small flat and the kid and whatnot. Also I could just ride my current bike a Bit more… ugh. I should not be looking at all the bike sites anymore, no no…
edit: why not have mah cake and eat it too yadda yadda… someone please sell me a Ridley Kanzo fast with rival axs pretty please? It’s fairly expensive, but not insanely so, so I don’t care. It has everything except a cool color, but at that price, the custom paint doesn’t really matter anymore (100 bucks is actually cheap). Mhmmmmm yeees
