You're 61, you deserve a great bike!

I wouldn't dismiss carbon, or Ti or AL....or even steel. Modern bikes in all materials are pretty good.Yes, Shimano 105 is good.

A friend of mine just bought a Giant gravel bike, but also got road wheels. This seems to be the sweet spot in speed, comfort and all the stuff that matters.

But those Trek bike you posted look nice. Really nice.
