That is definitely a good "other" option. Wondering whether the Stigmata or U.P. perform as well as the Diverge though when used purely as a road bike. I have only had the Diverge so far in the winter months. Looking forward to the summer when I can throw on another, much lighter wheel set and run 25's on it. I am presuming the Diverge is the better road bike and the U.P./Stigmata the better "cross/gravel grinder" but will have to see. Nevertheless, there really are plenty of options at this point which is a pleasure to see.
