I finally found a bike - Giant Defy Advanced 2. A little more than I wanted to spend, but it's a nice bike - CF and Shimano 105. I only had to drive 50 min to get it. I also tried a Giant Revolt in the same size at a closer shop but I felt more stretched out on it, and it has grx400.
The Defy can take up to 35mm tires, but for now I'm thinking of getting 28mm road tires and using my hybrid for trails.
I did a short 10 miles on it and really didn't notice a major difference in speed. But I think I need time to adjust to the different position (and more conditioning). I also plan on getting a fitting.
Thanks to all for the advice.
