Thanks for the replies.
I’m not totally new to biking, just road bikes.
Always ridden mountain bikes and I did purchase a used Specialized Allez about five years ago which has stood unused in the garage.
During my time away from work due to the Covid situation I decided to get out on it and it’s become my favourite form of exercise.
I had thought I’d purchase a new Giant Propel Advanced 1 disc which is the same money as the used Specialized, my head tells me the Giant will be the better buy being newer, but I keep looking at the Specialized.
