Going to the Philly Bike Show is a great idea—there will probably be more gravel bikes on display than road bikes. Every builder has their own take on fabrication and geometry and it’s worth getting to understand the builder’s philosophy before making a decision. My personal preference would be to wait for a Firefly (le plaisir est dans l’attente and all that), but I understand your reluctance given the long wait. Of the three builders you mentioned, my ranking would be Bingham, Seven, DeSalvo. But I do think that it’s worth looking at Mosaic and No. 22, and I don’t think anyone has mentioned Engin. Lots of great choices out there.
