i wanted a road bike because I’m planning on doing a few sprint triathlons next summer and I need to make up some speed on the bike. But outside of that I’m a more casual rider, mostly riding a few days a week on the hard gravel trails near my house. i like the wider tires and mechanical disk brakes on my hydrid so I think this will be the perfect bike for me.
