Hi,
I´m new to cycling and was looking at those two bikes: Roadmachine THREE 2022 and Roadmachine ONE 2021.
Roadmachine ONE 2021: I found it online for 2.2k EUR as a used bike with a couple scratches
Roadmachine 01 FOUR 2021: A friend is offering it to me for about 3k EUR as he will switch to a new bike, great condition.
I´m wondering if those are both great beginner bikes – looking more for an endurance experience as my first bike. If I had to choose is the steeper price worth it when looking at carboon wheels and Shimano Ultegra Di2 on the ONE?
On a sidenote I found this Pinarello F5 (3.2k EUR) which is just love from the look. I guess this is less of an endurance bike, but could this still be an option (https://buycycle.com/en-ie/bike/f5-ultegra-2023-33415)?
Super appreciate your help and opinions as I´m still learning and wrapping my head around this new hobby. Cheers!

This is a head v heart one.
The reality is you are not going to get E800 more value. With a few minor exceptions riding experience will be the same. You will struggle to confirm if you are faster with the carbon wheels.
Head says road machine three.
Even though the differences are minor I love my Di2 and would be prepared to pay a little more. You don’t mention what carbon wheels are, if they are a name brand that gives you some cache in the group it may close the gap. Heart might say road machine one.
Only thing to add is E3k is quite expensive for a 2021 bike IMHO. But I don’t have a good handle on prices in Europe
