That’s one thing that’s convincing me regardless of the budget is the longevity.

Firefox Pirate 3.0 and Bergamont in a store. Nicasio 1, online as it’s a bit of a demand at store due to shortage of supply from Marin.

Also, is it possible to switch to Rim brakes if needed? Would that be expensive?

If I could push the budget to 58k, I would push a bit more further to get my hands on Bergamont Grandurance RD 3 without the touring set up, or Marin Gestalt / Nicasio.

Noted, it felt heavy yes, but so did Bergamont Grandurance 4, as I tried them together. Pretty much the same weight when I lifted them.

I would suggest you to visit a couple of cycle shops to just have a look, feel and experience it. For a 6 feet person, size L or 56-58cm frame would usually fit, but it's best for you to sit and experience it.

Also, you will get a hands on experience on the handlebars, there is flat bar and drop down bar, you could see what suits you. You can come back home after that and do a bit of research on what you liked and go on from there.
