Basically the frame is heavy for a carbon bike but I am willing to compromise because the bike is so comfortable.

What I like about the bike is the versatility. Yesterday I rode the bike with 650 x 42 on some gravel and the day before that on 700 x 37. Days before that I was on 28 mm tires on pavement. It really is an all rounder.

There are so many good bikes in your price range that what ever you choose, it will be a good one.
My Roubaix also isn’t the lightest. But like you it is quite comfortable. The best bike is the one that is enjoyable to ride, even if it’s a bit heavier.
