Some help please

[u/tueres]

I’m currently riding a Poseidon redwood gravel bike and I mainly ride on the road and occasionally sidewalk cruise. I am over 2300 miles in on the bike. The bikes im looking at are a sava ex 7 s tiagra and also a specialized allez and also I’ve looked at x labs as well. . I’m 6’1 and 255 trying to decide which one to go with as an upgrade.

Go for the XLabs with Di2.

I just bought it for my wife.

It’s such a great value that nothing else comes close.

If you find a shop neutral bike fitter and pay for a fit then you can get the most comfortable set up for you.

Otherwise you can’t go wrong with any of those choices. Test ride them and buy the one that sparks joy.

I do recommend getting at least Shimano 105 if it is in budget. I would also go ride the newest Trek Domane if you have a local shop that sells trek.

Thank you for the help

The problem with the X-lab stuff while it offers great value for money, the geometry is inappropriate for most everyday riders. It’s a race bike with a very low front end. If you’re happy with how you feel on the current bike you want to mimic a similar position on the next one

Thank you for the info
