Road Endurance or Gravel
hi everyone.
I have been riding for years in mountain bikes mostly. Right now I have a giant Roam XR and am looking to go to road biking. I’m 6’2 to 6’3 and weigh 265. When I check out giant, trek and specialized most don’t say much for weight but some guess in the 275 bike+rider; and some 300. I’ve read about mostly avoiding carbon and making sure I go 28 or more spokes. Outside of that I have a budget of about 1500 ish cdn and been debating on a contend disc. I don’t have any 1st hand experience with specialiZed or trek so just looking for input. Even cannondale synapse would be a option. Ultimately just wanna get back doing more road riding with the occasional dip down a hard gravel path.
thanks for any input you might provide and a good bike considering my overall size.
Ciao.
