Hello,
So I wanted to buy a bike for the Ironman off-season and to ride now that my TT bike is in hibernation this fall/winter. I want a versatile bike that I can take onto the trails (nothing spectacular).
I had my eyes set on the Cervelo Aspero GRX600, which I believe is great value for money: top end frame, decent groupset. However, it is sold out every where in my size and color I want.
I can however get a Aspero Apex 1 (which has SRAM Apex 1 groupset). But I am hesitant. This feels like a too much of a entry level groupset compared to the GRX600. I read that Apex 1 compares to Tiagra; and that GRX600 compares to 105.
And the Apero Apex 1 is only 100 euro’s cheaper.
Main question: Is it worth getting the Aspero Apex 1, or is it better to wait and hope for the GRX600 to become available again?
Also, and I know these are different bikes, the Caledonia Shimano Ultegra mechanical is 'just' 600 euro’s more expensive than the Aspero Apex 1.
Second question: Would I nog be getting WAAAAYYYYYY more bike with the Caledonia?
Thanks for all your thoughts!
