I’ve got an Arkose and a caad12 disc.
I do love my Arkose but it’s nothing on the caad for road riding.
The caad is very stiff and a hell of a lot faster for the same effort.
PhilDAS-
Mhmm, thought as much. I like the idea of the caad12 but then keep thinking I could do a lot of work to the arkose for the same money, or just drop the cash on something like this: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube-attain-gtc-sl-disc-frame-carbon-n-flashyellow-610622
Anyway, I've derailed the pinnacle thread enough.
Here is the Arkose to apologise
Fforiwr
Arkose owners, anyone owned other .ore 'high end' aluminium disc road framesets? Having a now dedicated gravel bike I'm considering turning the arkose into a dedicated road bike, but have also been tempted by other more road orientated framesets.
Anyone got experience on whether things like Bowmans Pilgrims way or Cannondale Caad12 are actually any better than the arkose for a road steed? I know there is geo and clearance differences but just weighing up options.
