Hi all, I'm new to the forum too. I'm also very tempted on the new Diverge, I personally found perfect for my needs (at least on paper) mainly due to the upright geometry, and wonderful possibilities for bike touring, adventure riding and commuting. Pondering between E5 Alu and Carbon Comp. Unfortunately, where I live, there's yet none to test out yet. Can anyone comment how you see riding difference between alu vs carbon on Diverge? Been only riding light steel bikes in the past.
Alu models would have threaded BB's, which is a huge plus over pressfit for me. Then again carbons would have bigger tire clearance and perhaps bit less weight.
