Hi everyone, I’m pretty novice when it comes to bikes but my roadlite suffered an unfortunate fate, so I have an opportunity to upgrade.
When looking at bikes I’m trying to be really thoughtful with what would be the most comfortable for me to get the most out of fitness (80%) and city commuting (20%) in Chicago (USA), biking on the [606 Trail](https://www.the606.org/) and the [lake front trail](https://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks-facilities/lakefront-trail).
I’ve done a research around the versatility of the Grail as a gravel bike, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever make use of it’s more gravel terrain capabilities. On the other hand, part of me feels like going full road bike might be overkill.
I would love any advice anyone could share.

Are you planning on riding gravel? Which spec are you looking at (alloy version, carbon CF, SL, SLX, or CFR version)? It really depends on what you want to do, and what your budget is.
If you have no plans to ride gravel I’d get the endurance.
