Hi – looking to buy my first gravel bike and found a 2015 crux e5 on marketplace for 800$.
This bike would help me explore group rides with road bikes and start doing some gravel routes with the stretch goal of doing some short bikepacking.
Feels like I’m 200 away from a brand new bike at this price point – is this the better choice ?
Details:
Specialized Crux E5 premium aluminum 54cm. SRAM Force drivetrain 11 speed. SRAM Force Carbon crankset. SRAM Force hydraulic disk brakes. Specialized Hover alloy 15mm rise plus flare bars. Specialized FACT carbon fork. Panaracer Gravelking SK 38mm tires (fresh tubeless). Salsa 70mm stem. Salsa hubs, WTB SX17 700c rims.
