I’ve been riding all my life but am just now getting into more road/gravel cycling. I’m in school and in the market for a bike but I don’t want to break the bank completely, so I’ve been looking around Facebook and what not for a bike that would fit my desires. I found this one listed for $550 and I’m wondering if this is a decent deal and or worth buying. I want to be riding on the road with the occasional fire road and what not. It seems to have lower end dt Swiss wheels and some 105 components, so it’s nothing too special, but It would also be my first bike of this kind, so I don’t need anything too crazy. What are your guys opinions?

    1. It looks like a solid bike that would do what you want it to. I have a 2013 Evoluzione. It’s not a gravel bike but I still love it and the it rides after 11 years. I think you could do a lot worse.

    2. Hard to Identity the components in the picture, bit it looks decent for that kond of money. If its 2×11 i‘d say go for it! Great gear range road road and offroad. Also you could by another pair of tires and fit them with street tires. Then you have the option to switch between gravel & road bike. Thats what i am doing with my limited bidget

    3. But make sure you give it a test ride! Or at least make sure you get the right stack-reach ratio and frame height.
