What makes you recommend going with the carbon? The G4 seems like good value. You get 90 percent of the bike for 50 percent of the outlay. Weight an issue you think?
Weight but also comfort. Carbon, especially the fork, helps absorb vibration better than alloy on rough gravel roads. (But yes, the G4 is a good value).
@@FemmeCyclist Right I hear you there. Hmm I wonder if a carbon bar on the G4 would also help. It does have the carbon fork already. Adding a bar and some soft grips should help dampen things out.
I wish I had known about these bikes before I bought my specialized. I paid way more and got less. Oh well, now I know. Thanks for the video.
