+1 to what @laner said. I would say if you have the money to choose, get gears. Because if you don't like it, you can then convert it into a gravel bike by doing nothing else other than sticking bottles in the bottle cages.

Want to get a CX bike ready for the Autumn so I have some enjoyable racing and cycling to do over the winter.
As a complete CX newb am I better going off with SS or gears? I like the simplicity and cheapness of building up a SS but a geared bike could also double as my winter road trainer. For low level racing though, is there much in it?
