Contend 2 is a good beginner bike with all rounder geometry. BOTS packing and customer service is topnotch
After much research I narrowed in on Giant Contend 2 and Trek Domane AL 2. The Trek was cheaper by 3k, but the tyre width turned out to be the dealbreaker for me. Huge thanks to Rohan for also helping me make this decision.
Contend 2 is an excellent bike and gives the right combo of speed and control for someone coming up from a hybrid.
Shifting with the Claris works like a dream, and even though there was a minor issue with the shift lever making contact at lower gears with the upper gear level, it needed a bit of pushing by hand and it's been smooth so far.
Really hope to do a lot more longer rides with this.
