Since you want gravel/endurance ride bike why wouldn't you choose Lightcarbon: LCR018-D over this frame? I am in the same situation as You and comfort/ more tire clearence/ aero/ maintaining speed in this case is more important to me than less bike weight since i will not use this bike on climb.
I am still in the deciding phase of what bike to get, but The light carbon would be a little redundant. My gravel bike already can fit 40+ tires. Not sure if i can get used to that eagle eye design either.
The LTK is a snappier bike that can still take chubby tires, is aesthetically pleasing, and would be going on climbs in my case.
That said, I cant tell you that you will be able to make use of the potential difference between the LCR018-D and the LTK266-D-SL. Nobody but a bike fitter can do that.
If you just want a fun bike to ride, I would just buy whichever one you like the look of best. After all riding the bike is what matters.
Well said. I shelled out the cash and made an appointment with a fitter to help figure what is best for me.
Riding cool bikes is fun indeed
