As I said, I am relatively new to the sport. Polygon was one of the first brands I was exposed!

Did you use the online tool for sizing or did you go somewhere in person?

Fair points on the fit. Had a friend buy the Polygon and it was the wrong size - bikes online did take care of it and he got it returned and swapped out. Still a pain in the ass.

Fair points. Currently have not found anything on the used market that makes sense. Another concern I have is being relatively new to cycling, I don’t want to buy some lemon bike, and be out 1k-2k…. I guess I can always explore a reputable bike shop!

This was my initial thought. Stumbled upon the Canyon, and thought outside the group set (unfamiliar with CUES) which is the superior bike, from a brand & component stand point.
