Sup /n/iggers, I'm planning on getting my first road bike with the goal of doing group rides with my local shop and trying to get into amateur racing within the next year or so. I rode MTB and BMX as a teen but it's been years since I've owned a bike
Mostly I just have questions.
>Carbon vs alloy if I plan on taking riding seriously and wanting to get into amateur racing?
>is Shimano 105 really all I need unless I've a pro (which I won't be)?
>is it worth it to spend more for Di2?
>is fully internal routing a meme or not?
Budget is 4-5k. If I spend 4k on a bike I can use 1k to get helmet, shoes, etc. But I am willing to go 5k on a bike if it's worth it
