Looking to buy a gravel bike ( yeah I know), I have a nice road bike and FS MTB, so don't need a cross over so much. There are a couple Ibis Haka MX and SC Stigmata's but at 65 yo and being in chunky Colorado.

Maybe those are too stiff?

Maybe a Niner steel?

Otso Warakin steel or Ti?

Thoughts?

Don't want to break the bank though.

Thanks so much.
Late to the party, but if you want a great budget friendly ti gravel bike then just go buy a Lynskey. I have had everything from Parlee Chebaccos, No 22 Drifter, Stigmata 2nd Gen, Firefly ti/carbon and plenty of others. All are great bikes and have their merit, but my current gravel bikes are a Custom flat bar Winter and a late Lynskey Urbano.

The Lynskey is an excellent all arounder. Comfortable, balanced, capable and way cheaper than a whole lot of the other bikes I listed. It is a great all day bicycle and really is tough to beat! Glad to answer any questions about any of the above bikes as well!
