New to gravel bikes after about 8 years of riding hiatus. I had a '95 Trek mountain bike and and 70s steel frame road bike which I converted into a single speed commuter. Wow… Bike tech certainly has changed (hydrolic disc brake? Drop seat post? What?). I got this REI ADV2.3 During their sale earlier this year. I'm having a blast! Now I just need to figure out how to discover gravel trails near Albany, NY.

Got the same bike during the same sale…it’s great.
how are you liking the 1x setup? That’s my biggest hesitation with it.. though with a lot of 2x I do know you’re usually looking at 34 up front and 34 as your biggest in the rear so climbing is actually worse or the same for a 2x setup…
