Hey guys.
Searched a lot before creating this thread and still full of doubt.
So I currently live in SF area and planning to use a bike during rides to GG park, Paradise loop, Mill valley, Muir woods etc.
My race TT bike clearly doesn't go well with that because of road bumps, cars, hills and bad pavement.
I need a bike to do short and long training workouts (around 40-60% FTP), climbing, and just having fun casual rides in parks, and, probably, commute. Other sessions will be done at zwift (using triathlon bike).
I never tried dirt roads, but don't mind it.
At first, I thought about gravel bike, but now I'm thinking of CX bike like Inflite AL SLX 5.0 Race (1500 usd) or an Endurance bike with 32mm tyres.
What can you recommend? The budget is 2000 usd max.
I hope this will be helpful for others too. Thanks.
