That guy also suggested me to see Vernik for bikefitting. I don't mind the tyre clearance so much. 40mm would be more than enough for me but aluminium versions's color scheme looks pretty bad for my taste. Not like that mat green beauty. Also they are asking almost 6k for their entry level one. They had a discount for 2019 Silex 7000 which i missed because of corona time. I asked them whether they would offer that discount for one time but they refused, (Rosen&Meents's amazins customer service). Now they raised the price to 10700 for a 2019 version which has only size XS. Such a shame that they are the sole supplier of Merida. Like the brand hate the supplier.
