Any bargains about on a small gravel bike?
Budget roughly 2k
Prefer shimano grx 2x but happy to consider anything particularly if its in stock!
Cheers
In the spirit of recommending what you own... Titus Goldrush. PX have stock at least, although for the moment, they've put the price back up to £2299 again... They have recently had various offers on, so would expect it to be on offer again soon as is the way with PX's perplexing business model.
Great bike though, really impressed with mine.
Boardman ADV 9.0 - Cycling Plus and Bikeradar gave it bike of the year. £1800. I have a PX tempest but I use it for the road.
I really like my focus atlas but no idea about stock. Wheelbase had 54’s before Xmas.

All available in small. My mate really rates his Vitus and the Nukeproof looked good to me when I was shopping but was out of stock back then.
I've had a trek checkpoint for just under a year and managed about 1100 miles and quite a few backpacking trips. I really cant fault it for the money . Only 2 faults would be it comes with god awful stock tyres and the paint dosent like frame bags so helitape like a demon. Gravel bikes like mountain bikes are a broad church so to speak , I bought mine for bikepacking but ride the local mtb trails on it. My point is if you want to just kick about fireroads and the occasional singletrack trail go for Gravel kings . If you want to ride through the winter in mud go for Scwalbe ultrabites.
