thanks all for your replies...makes me think a lot ...
my riding experience is - today every day rain , snow, sun i ride my bike

for couple of years now , i plan road rides.. how far ? as long as i can in one probably
I have been looking around for bikes with dropped bar as you guy suggested .. and since i rather have disc brakes , git stuck with a different choice
i have abandoned trek zektor idea and canyon (i think crossrip from trek could be a better choice )
but cube seem to offer quite a nice range of bikes that i may like .... they are a bit more sportive from what i originally planned but i do not mind, and i change at work anyway so does not make that much difference...
obviously the more i look the higher my budget goes

)) so now im checking this:
cube CROSS Race
