What do you guys think is the best option? I’m on a tight budget. Any recommendations for something similarly priced? Which is the best and why?

I’m going to admit my bias right off the bat; I own a 4130 All Road. I don’t have any experience with the Triban, but I have ridden an Elroy. In my opinion the State beats all of them hands down. The groupset punches way above its weight, for a steel frame it’s pretty light, has thru axles, sealed hubs, is tubeless compatible out of the box; overall one of the best buys for an entry level gravel bike. Get the State carbon fork; it totally transforms the bike. The Elroy is fine, just REALLY heavy with really cheap wheels and brakes. The Triban looks pretty well spec’ed, but it’s an alloy frame (if that makes any difference to you). Maybe someone else can weigh in on it.
State. No question. The other 2 are crap.
