Basso Astra vs Look 765 vs Pearson Forge

[Happy_Days]

I’d appreciate thoughts and ideas on these (or similar) endurance bikes. I’m after endurance geometry, preferably somewhat aero, and an engaging ride. I’m coming from a Domane, which I found hugely competent but slightly uninvolving.

In-frame storage would be a plus, but it seems disappointingly rare.

Can't comment on the Look 765 but I have owned a 785 for about 6 years and it is my favourite bike I have ever owned. It is purely subjective I know, but it does have the undefined thing of being bloomin good fun to ride whilst also being an incredibly light and stiff race bike.

Not sure if it is the case for all their frames, but the top end ones were also always built in their workshop in Tunisia and the build quality and tolerances are excellent.
