Bikes: 2019 Specialized Diverge, 2021 Cervelo Caledonia

Lots of you are making a joke out of this, but I'm wondering the same thing. Case in point: I have a 2019 Specialized Diverge with a 2x drive train which is perfect for the rides I do. The current Diverge lineup is all 1x for 105 and up groupsets, so I couldn't replace what I have with the current offerings from Specialized. The big issue for me would be that I like the 48-11 high gear, but the 1x offerings have smaller chainrings. I also like the closer spacing of the gears in the casette. It's not a problem for me. I'm happy with the bike I have. But it would be a problem if I wanted to replace my current Diverge.

There may be bikes from other companies that would be better suited for me. I haven't checked because I'm not looking for another bike. But like the OP, I'm thinking I'd rather have my 2x than follow the current 1x trend.
