Trek Crockett or Specialized Diverge
i bought a used canti Crockett, luuuuv that bike. it fits 45's so no need to ask what size tire it will take. Bike is very light (cant say i have weighed mine) but its a super bike. i bought the used frame for like $400 so a cheap build is possible. i think you can get a brand new one, with discs for your budget.
i would add the Specialized Diverge is also a bike i would like to try. ive given one a ride but have not got serious time on one. Pretty sure either can fit in the budget, way less used. Last edited by Bentley; 08-14-2018 at 06:16 PM. |

The options for cx/gravel at JensonUSA look pretty phenomenal, especially if the OP can stretch a bit.

Good list. I was thinking SOMA myself. With a 1x setup and discs.

Soma and Surly = heavy, relatively dead feeling and low stack versus other options. I owned a Wolverine.
I've looked at a lot of these options in the past and from what I can tell our boy Raekwon aka r3awak3n has the best suggestion with the Haanjo. I'd be interested in hearing feedback on the Canyon Endurance entry level option as well. |

Not sure how up to date this list is, but it's a good start.

Great thread, I have a similar dilemma. Looking for a bike that will run 650b x 47 and am between the Black Mountain Cycles Road Plus and Kona Rove NRB DL. I'd be open to used also, but haven't seen anything in the classifieds.

If he's willing to look at used bikes, at 1,500 bucks I'd favor a used cross bike (that might have sold for 3 -5k new) over a new gravel bike. There are used gravel bikes too, of course, but maybe less selection? Many of the cross bikes have fairly versatile geometries, many come with water bottle bosses, and there's no need to run cross tires if one doesn't want to.

Kona Rove ST
I just purchased a 2019 Kona Rove ST. I needed a bike I could dedicate to commuting. It crossed all the boxes for me. Dynamo wheel being built now. It will live its life with fenders. Steel, $1590, 1X, Rival, 650b, thru axles, fender and rack mounts, 5 water bottle mounts, etc..
I was very close to getting the 2019 Masi Randonneur Elite which is $1800 with 105, 650B, thru axle, and comes with generator hub, front light and fenders.
