Convince me to not spend €6000 on the canyon endurace CFR DI2
Looking to buy my first "real" bike. Came across canyon after doing some research. I like going fast/don't want a city bike, but I find comfort to be one of the most important things, so the endurace line should be the go to.
Now I'm stuck between some choices
- endurace CFR di2 for €6000 instead of €9000 (pretty sure this is overkill for someone like me who wants to start a new hobby, but it's the top of the line / no need for upgrades in the future). Can't complain about that discount as well, but the maintenance will probably be a lot more than the other 2
- endurace CF 7 Di2 LTD: this is the "budget" option if you can even say that. Carbon frame and carbon wheels with the shimona 105 DI2. Retail €3200
- endurace slx 7 Di2: this is the model between the CFR and cf LTD. Pretty much the same bike as the cf 7 DI2 LTD, but has some upgrades such as a "better" carbon frame (don't know if that really matters for someone like me / an amateur), an integrated tool bag in the frame and an adjustable steering wheel (also don't know if that's a big factor). This retails for €3999
Some of my coworkers even tried to convince me me to go with the endurace onfly CF 6 (electric motor) for €4300 because I'm an amateur / just a hobby and the electric motor will be nice when climbing or when the wind is holding you back / getting fatigued. But the extra yearly maintenance costs and knowing that sooner or later you'll have to replace the motor (600-900€ repair) is worth it...
I'm also 27, 193cm, I'm currently not in the greatest shape (not fat but your average guy) but that's the reason why I want a bike, to get back in shape
What would you chose / are the more exspensive bikes worth it or will someone like me nor noticed the difference / not worth it for an amateur?
Thanks for your insights
