Where I find it less than ideal is for fast, aggressive 80km (or less) hilly rides, if I had never ridden great road bikes before on the same roads I would be perfectly happy.
If you want a bike that can take some easy singletrack and gravel and take on ”endurancy” road rides it’s a great choice. If you never plan on running 35s or bigger than the streal would likely be a better choice.
I've just placed an order for the Secan, and it should arrive next month. My plan is to use it mainly for long solo rides on road (some multi-day trips too), plus bridleway adventures once the ground firms up a bit more.
