25mm tires - I tested enough bikes now that I pretty much know I want 28/32mm (shouldnt be a problem for the shop to change them or go with SL5 carbon they come with 28mm)

In my market it's pretty hard to find a 2-4 year old used road bike at the moment. I would have to buy a used bike on the internet without testing it. And thats a no-no for me. But thanks for your input

No "damping adjustment wheel" on the 2 roubaix bikes I test. Rep said I could exchange the Shock for a harder/softer one.

TCR Advanced Pro (Bike i tested) - Bike in price range is the 2021 pro compact (not in stores atm; as far as I know)

at the moment I am leaning towards Canyon Endurace CF SL.
has basicly everything on paper that I want. But I cant test it.
