My road bike is a 5 yrs. old Chinese carbon, uses rim brakes, has clearance for a large 25mm tire max. Has a Di2 system, I was going to someday upgrade to a better frame, but it rides and fits great, so use it on my “go fast“ rides. I got the carbon as I wanted a bike for commuting 27 miles, knew I’d put road wheels/tires on it, also has lower hill gearing. My other commuter is a 27lbs lugged steel touring bike. I can swap wheels on the C-Dale to the gravel tires for when I’m on vacation, riding dirt roads and trails locally, etc... The Topstone is actually a great riding bike as I can run 70/80 psi on these tires and is a very comfortable fit.
