I am looking to purchase a new/used gravel bike to replace a Trek XO2 which developed a death creak in the last few months. I was leaning towards a TI bike for this due to comfort and structural integrity over many years and came across a Lynskey Pro Cross that was “lightly” used for $2000 dollars. I was happy with the fit during the test ride. The frame would rate probably 95%+ with only a few minor marks and no apparent stress issues while the components are a grab bag of newish ultegra and 105 in which the shifters/brakes have a few marks and the chain ring has a bit of wear. Is this remotely reasonable in price? My other choice was to build up a Lynskey helix or gr300 frame up.
I do a fair amount of trail riding weekly, about 40 miles at a time and about 3 days a week and am I am about 5’11” and a bit over 200 lbs and was looking
