Pinarello Gan 105 or Domane SL5
Have a Domane ALR4 now - Aluminum with Tiagra. Looking at an upgrade.
Was looking at a Domane SL 5 Gen 3, but just came across the Pinarello Gan 105. The geometry is a bit different, but the Pinarello is way cooler looking and about $800 cheaper. Don't care much about disc brakes.
Trying to figure out if anything I'm missing anything here???

Treks have lifetime warranties, I believe... Not sure on the Pina. But I'd just buy the one that speaks to you more. You'll ride it more if you love it.

huh. Did not know that. But the Pina is not just talking, but screaming at me. At least from online. I'll see it in person tomorrow.

I have the Pinarello Marvel, which was replaced by the Gan. It replaced my old Domane. The Marvel has rim brakes, not discs. Incredibly different rides, but I am so happy that I went with the Marvel. There’s just a certain joy in riding that bike (and my 60.1) that I never got from my Treks and Specialized bikes.

I don't want or need anyone screaming at me. I would test ride some bikes and see which one you like the best. I am not a big modern Pinarello fan and Treks aren't my thing but you have to test ride them and maybe try some other stuff as well and make your decision after test riding.

The Gan is a great bike. Not the fastest thing out there, but very balanced and with plenty of zip for an endurance bike. Just keep in mind that it runs a little large, so definitely test ride extensively before settling on a frame size. If you typically ride a 56, you might be more comfortable on a 54 Gan.

love my Gan S, even done a double century on it. Great bike and looks sharp to me. Geo is race fit, unlike the Domane. So depends how you like your bike fits, but I think there are 9 different sizes to pick from. Well at least in my model yr.

I wouldn't invest in a rim brake frame. The biggest improvement in the ride of any bike comes from using wider tubeless tires at lower pressures on wider hookless rims. With 25mm internal width hookless rims, 28-32mm tires can be run at low pressures without increased rolling resistance. I run 28mm tires at 52/56 psi based on the zipp pressure calculator. Rim brake calipers usually won't allow a 28mm tire that measures 31mm on a 25mm IW rim. Component manufacturers are all supporting disc brake frames now.
The Paris is the current endurance model. It has typical tall stack and short reach geometry and like most brands, the frame size numbers mean nothing.

And if you are desiring a more relaxed fit, there are other bikes that will do that better than the Domane. However either is a good bike for the average person wanting a fit somewhere between relaxed and very aggressive. Don't fear the disc brakes.

I agree about test ride before you buy.
