>>1325251>>1325244Well, the Triban were my first "real" bike, it was a test to see if I would like to travel by bike to work and wherever. So it never hit me that there mightve been a weight limit.
It was after I got introduced to bikepacking that I started to think "hmm, I don't think this 500€ bike are built for this". Having up to 15kg of extra weight on the bike at one point.
It did survive 2 winters of salt and a lot of beating, no service, no new tires or brake pads. It was a real beater bike.
There's nothing wrong with it today either so it's just a backup bike at this point.
>Cinelli SemperI wouldnt go for this one, Mechanical brakes and no compact groupset kind of sucks, imho.
Also I've heard that SRAM discs are hard to maintain, maybe i'm wrong.
My Trek is 150€ more and have Hydro discs with Compact Tiagra groupset. More aggressive position thought, so that might be a negative. I don't mind it after 1 year ownership.
