Gravel, endurance or cross?

It's actually been a pretty easy winter here in Ontario. They do have a Domane Al 4 I could pick up. Tiagra? Do I dare stoop so low? Dunno.. Trying to do a build-up pricing list, see if i can pick and choose what I want. I think something in around 1000mm wheelbase..maybe 1010. Little easier on the stack than some of the racier bikes, although I have to say I can still hit a decent position for my age...

Generally, I'd say the Al 5 Domane would be worth the upcharge from the Al 4, but as far as Tiagra goes, I'm not sure ANY Shimany drivetrain is anything to worry about.

I just can't justify the $400 for the 5. Like, Iso bars..105 I get..wheels are centrelock. I dunno.. I need to spend on tires and such. Tough call...
