Hey all first road/gravelish bike purchase in 5yrs so dont know the market as well now.

Trying to decide on a an older domane vs new gen gen 4 AL5.

The used option is from 2020 but its a carbon sl6 with an upgraded RIVAL AXS 2x setup. It has the dual isospeed and all else is stock incl alloy wheels. Looks to be in great shape by a local roadie.

Would like to put at least 38mm tires on either. 70%road/30%lightgrav

Main question is buying a similar price used 6 yr old frame carbon safe or best to stick with the newer gen aluminum version with lower end drivetrain (105). price for both about $2400 total after tax etc. Thoughts about warranty issues on older carbon frame have me spooked but otherwise im leaning on the used/wireless setup which would be sweet.

Thanks for any advice!!
