My brother recently bought a GR260 and it rides quite nicely on gravel. The finish quality is very good as well. If there’s a deal, I say take it.
Shimano or Sram, go for what you prefer feelwise. Even though I think Sram 1x makes most sense for gravel, I don’t like the feel of Sram, so for me Shimano it’s worth it. I disagree with the post above, I think a 46/36 has no place on a gravel bike. Not enough on the high or low end. If you ride anywhere with hills, I’d recommend a 50/34 or 48/32 with an 11/34 cassette, or even an 11/36.
Wheels will make a great difference in the ride, but iirc, the price to upgrade to the Stan’s from Lynskey isn’t all that favorable, maybe better to wait until a choice pair pops up here?
Have fun !
