Are you me?
I own an Ultra AF 700. Did multiple 200s on it (15?), 2 300s and a 600. Great bike but that 600 massively fucked up my left hand, still don't have the feeling 100% back 4 months later. My audax pal who's a geometry geek said that it's probably cos the front end's a bit low.
I bought an Triban RC 520 not as a replacement but as a winter bike, but I like it so much and find it much comfier than the other bike, so I'm gonna do all future distance rides on it, reserving the AF 700 for summer and "fast" duties.
In summary you should go for it.

Oh nice, thanks for the info! Had a look and the Triban RC 520 is out of stock in my size... sounds like the gravel version is due to come out later this year?

Have you tried ullular (sp?) nerve exercises for your hand? I've not had to use them myself (thankfully) but I remember them being discussed on a TCR thread.

Enjoyed doing a couple of 200s and a 300 last year on my Btwin AF700 and hoping to build up a little bit this season and do a 400 and 600 (?). Was thinking about getting something more comfortable (Decathlon's new gravel bike potentially). Are there specific bikes in that price range I should be looking at? Am I just looking for an excuse to get a new bike?
