As I mentioned in another thread asking about gravel hybrids......
If you are looking for a high quality AL frame bike take a look at Canyon's Pathlight SL 7.0. Next year they may bring in one of the carbon framed models as well. My wife and I have a couple of their high end flat bar road bikes and found them to be a fantastic bikes and Canyon's purchase experience beyond our hopes. Check out the link for the Pathlight here if interested: https://www.canyon.com/en-us/fitness...rahmenfarbe=BK
One of the nice things about Canyon is now free shipping, no sales tax out of CA, and they give you 30 days to try it out or send back for FULL refund.
