• My Ribble CGR Al order has been pushed once again (ordered on 30/12 with 16/02 ETA, then 24/03, now apparently May) which got me thinking maybe there's something else within my budget (£1,700 ish) that I missed during my initial research. Probably a pointless endeavour since everything is sold out but hey..maybe I missed something worthy. Things I want to have are 1x11 GRX600, 700c, hydraulic breaks, Everything else is flexi.

    My shortlist had: CGR Al/725, Digger 275, Cube Nuroad EX, Sonder CAMINO AL GRX1, Merlin Malt, Vitus Substance among some others.

    Thanks!

  • Do they do Norco search in the UK?

  • Cube cross race SL

    Lols.

    Sorry, not helpful, it’s hard to get gravel bike in that prices range nowadays.

  • £1200 will get you a secondhand Genesis fork...

    (must be an extra zero mistake)

  • Arkose 4s are in stock at Evans...

  • This is why I built mine up from a frame and a bunch of components, but there are some things that are just not available anywhere.
    There's no GRX anything except a few stockists with chainsets.
    There are no flat mount calipers anywhere, but you can get Shimano 105 with flat mounts, so this is probably the way to go. I bought post mounts and added adaptors.
    I couldn't find much SRAM stuff either, but I wasn't really looking.
    Even factory wheels are tough to find.
