@EagleEyez @PhilDAS To be honest I'm not against getting an arkose. They seem to be great value for money! I just wanted to know if there was something new in gravel town ;-) .
The arkose X for example is much cheaper than the marin or the Ribble. It comes with the same groupset, but has internal routing for dynamo (not exactly a requirement but might become useful if I ever want to push a little further).
@PhilDAS
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that it's better as a road bike with some possibilities to go for a bit of unpsved roads? Or just that the geometry works better with a road bike like fitting?
@spinnnout I'll probably go and test the Ribble if I've not bought anything at that point. Thanks!
@kimchi I'm affraid this will be above my budget. But it does look nice!
Has anyone tried the planet X space chicken or tempest? They also seems like good value for money. Both coming with Sram force (instead of rival). But shall I be worried by the planetX quality? I've never seen on of their bike in real life.
