It's about time to trade in my trusty 2012 Orbea Orca.
New Bike Requirements:
My current fit is solid, comfy, and powerful so that's what I'm using as my baseline.
It looks like the Trek H1.5 fit (Madones and Emondas) can get me in an almost identical position except when I plug in the numbers for Trek's more aero stem/bars like the Madone SLR handlebar (93mm reach, 123mm drop). My current Fizik bars are 85mm reach, 135mm drop.
I've attached the comparison below to get your thoughts. I'm also game to looking at other brands that don't require anything crazy like 80mm of stem spacers, etc. I'd also like your feedback on if I need to be looking at the numbers differently or including any additional numbers that are not currently here.
As a side note, the Cannondale Synapse numbers look dead on with my current numbers. However, I view the Cannondale as slow and sluggish. Convince me otherwise. The endurance geometry, with taller stack, actually provides a better fit for me but I still like a quick handling and fast bike.
New Bike Requirements:
- Disc brakes
- di2 compatible
- Can take up to 30mm (true measurement) tires
- Fast AF but won't beat me to death like the Orca
