So what is the view on the new Specialized Diverge? I really like the idea of it and what they are trying to achieve, what are the thoughts on theHub and owners of them? I cannot seem to find that many reviews, I know it is still very new but definitely a new hype and it looks like the ideal everyday commuting/adventure/touring bike. I looked at the Diverge A1, very well priced at around R15k, although specced with Tiagra it has the frame and some fat tyres to get the adventure on. What are the thoughts and how are the owners finding them and maybe what other options are there to consider. I am very keen to buy one. See these bikes are called 'Gravel Grinders', Giant, Niner, GT has some options as well but not sure if they are sold in SA? Those that do not know the bikes.
