Hello all,
I finally have the wifely OK to get searching for a new-to-me bike!!! I signed up for the Last Best Ride in Whitefish, MT this August, and need a new whip to handle the abuse. I'm searching for a single bike to do it all on a limited budget. Ideally a cyclocross (possibly gravel) bike, more on the racing end of the spectrum as I'll also use it for road racing, gravel racing, CX, and possible crits.
I'm medium-ish size (180 cm height, 88 cm measured inseam), so frame size 54 (or 56), fairly leggy build ... (some day I dream of an actual professional fit to figure out what size would actually work best for me... *sigh*)
Qualifiers:
-$1200-1300 so I'll still have a bit of my $1500 budget to get a new race kit and any personal tweaks to get the bike race worthy.
-Disc Brakes
-Thru axles front and rear
-Any frame material
-Any groupset, tho something 2x would be preferred for road racing and more versatility
-Something 2018 or newer would be super sweet!
Please reply here and/or PM me with whatever you have laying around.
Thanks Awesome ST community!
