Dartmoorcf
Regular
Hiya
I've been lent a Trek Alpha roadbike and it is great. Much faster than my bike which is a hybrid (Marin san rafael). Not surprisingly.
However I'm looking for a sort of combination of the two. Something nice and light which is good on road plus something which can handle Dartmoor's crappy b roads and maybe the odd bridle path.
Both trek and Marin offer gravel bikes but there is zero availability in any shop.m round here.
I have the vast choice of just one bike in my size.
That bike is the Specialized diverge e5 base 2021 at £999
What do people think of this bike? Looks pretty nice to me but then I am a real novice.
I've been looking at Trek Domane, Marin Gestalt and even Cannondale synapse but the problem is a lack of options. No stock anywhere locally. The bike I really like is the Orbea Terra.
Perhaps I should just hang on
I am struggling to find reviews of this base model. Most reviews are for the carbon one which is out of my price range
I have seen a 2nd hand Trek Checkpoint Alr4 which has hydraulic disk brakes that is also just in my price range just...
Thanks
