Been running a carbon Cube Attain for 5 years now. C. 1500-2000 miles per year. Great bike, never let me down and quite comfy. As I’m a totally fair weather rider - 50% is on a turbo-trainer and it’s a complete faff to swap over. So - time to buy a new bike for road; and keep the Attain for indoors.
Criteria = more endurance than racey, (50 next year) electronic gears and possibly even carbon wheels if I can get the right deal, although happy to upgrade at a later time.
Currently looking at Cube Agree, and Orro Gold STC - though struggling to find anybody with experience of either. Several friends have Giant Defys and 50:50 between love and hate with them…
Any tips much appreciated!

Mrs Catmat7 has an Orro Venturi STC and I think you’d struggle to get a better bike for the money. Her’s is a bit of a work horse, used for winter training so it takes some proper abuse. It has di2 and carbon wheels and hasn’t missed a beat.

I am thoroughly impressed with it and it doesn’t look out of place in her stable which mainly contains bikes costing twice as much as the Orro. If I had space (and the need) I wouldn’t hesitate in getting one, in fact I did get an Orro gravel bike last year.
