I have a wonderful GT Transeo which I have been using for commuting and joy rides.

I’m thinking about upgrading since I did a couple of charity rides and even a race this year as well.

I have been riding road primarily but I’m thinking about gravel or all-road bikes since drivers in my area seem to be getting more… dangerous? If I get gravel then I can either go on bike trails or drive somewhere where there is less car traffic. There’s also quite a few gravel events in my area.

I’ve been eyeing either the Trek Domane, Canyon endurance, or the Giant Revolt. Any other bikes to look into?

Budget - Preferably $1k-$2k USD. I’m okay with going up to $3k if it’s worth it. I am not looking to be a pro, just something with a little more arrow and competitive than a hybrid bike 😅. Not afraid of buying used, but the market in my area is terribly non-existent. If I look for used bikes I probably would buy through BuyCycle.com or something.

    I’m loving my Cannondale Topstone 2 (aluminum frame). It’s got carbon forks and 37mm tires. Grx components. Super comfy, great on both streets and dirt. About 2k USD, unless you find a sale.
