Jamis Renegade vs All City Space Horse?
I've been eyeing the Jamis Renegade s4 for a couple weeks. I'd like to do some weekend bikepacking, and commute around town and it seems the Renegade is great value for money. However, in the current drought, I found a 2021 Space Horse at my LBS. It has better a group set, but is slightly heavier. Thoughts on the differences? they both have their fans and seem like great bikes.

If you're considering the steel Renegade, spend the extra $350 for the S3, no question. You get a much better GRX 400 groupset with a 46/30 crank that will be more suitable for bikepacking / gravel than the 50/34 on the S4. I would also choose the steel Renegade over the Space Horse because the geometry is more contemporary, and the build is much better than the similar price Tiagra Space Horse.

The Space Horse has a steel fork while the Renegade's is carbon, this contributes to the weight difference. I personally like the steel fork look more so I'd lean toward the Space Horse. However, I'd build it up from the frame vs buying it complete.
Both are good bikes, the Renegade probably has more fans on here.
