All Road / Endurance build I changed jobs and the distance was compatible with me commuting. I have the intention to commute all year, and in the winter we have snow. I used to do it twenty years ago because I spend my money on a car, now I want to do it again just because it is convenient way to get exercise in my week. Got a gym a work, so no problem. Now I do have two road bikes already, - a 2012 Storck Fenomenalist is going to be on my trainer. Or sold if I put the other bike on the trainer in the winter - it is a rim brake bike with manual gears. - a 2019 BMC Roadmachine 02 Two upgraded to Ultegra DI2. The storck has a positive rise on the stem and the roadmachine has a 0 degree. which makes them surprisingly similar despite different geometry. I was considering building a titanium bike with a frame from walty titanium because in the winter it can be ice and snow and I thought titanium was better in a crash. So i started looking at walty titanium, but the number of choices I had to make plus the thought of a possibly 50-60% heavier frame - that got me back to carbon. Given the first gen AXS eTap was on its way out, I bought a 1x SRAM Force AXS eTap set (without crank and cassette). So that's as far as I've come. I was thinking of a gravel frame to fit studded tires in the winter, but it's going to be ridden on pavement, and in the summer I'll be running 28 or 30c, so doesn't need to be that burly. More an all road frame or a race-oriented endurance frame geometry like my BMC. Any ideas? This is the geometry of my current bikes: https://geometrygeeks.bike/compare/storck-fenomalist-2012-55,bmc-roadmachine-02-two-2019-56/ And I run a few spacers on both. I'm a 47 year old computer software engineer, not a 20 year old triatloner. So doesn't need to be more race oriented than those two. March 03, 2024, 07:22:13 AM	1
