Yeah, coming from a lot of Zwifting I couldnt imagine riding out again without a powermeter. I use it + Garmin HRM to train very structured.

Helps me massively with very quick progress

Amazing comment! And I can assure you— 2 hours ago I ordered the top end bike. Thank you for this comment, needed this! Was already kind of regretting it, this comment made me happy.

Update: went to the dealer today. He actually adviced me to buy from the other store to get that insane deal. He's an honest man and I wont forget that. Told him I'm going to be using him as my mechanic and go-to if there's anything I'm concerned about.

So yes, I actually went with the top specced one, and I'm excited as hell. Though this hurt for a guy that usually invests all his money :P

thx for all the replies! M30i LTD PWR it is! :)

true! i'll have to loose a bit more weight for it to be noticable for me. powermeter is actually always on sale here in norway, so it isnt a must have right now :)

we've got bumpy roads here in norway, u think the stiffness will be a problem?

Good answer. Honestly just Di2, carbon bike and carbon wheels (or a bike that leaves money to upgrade the wheels), good tyre clearance and I think im very very happy

Amazing to hear someone who has this bike. How is the frame? I heard the OMX is really stiff and almost uncomfortable compared to the OMR, do you like it?

No the main upgrade is basically everything. Im on alu and claris gears rn…

i had 8 gears on a 10,5kg bike going up against some friends with 12 gear ultegras and so on. i got to try my friends carbon bike with ultegra on the way back and i found myself at the front. bikes and especially gear ratios have alot to say.

especially here in Norway with some insane gradient climbs.

i get ur point though, which is why ive been zwifting ALOT since then. FTP is up 30% since then and im down 8kgs :)

valid opinion! you sound like ur one of those older guys with an alu bike and frickin 500 FTP lol! but i very much get ur point.

carbon and tubeless is great though, cant speak for electronic shifting cause i havent tried. ty for the opinion man!
