Hi, i'm looking to buy my first Gravel Bike to use it for day tours and potential several day bike tours in the future. My budget is limited to about 1200€. So while i am looking for an entry level gravel bike i still definitely want one with hydraulic brakes, a carbon fork and a gravel shifting group (like GRX or similar).
I did some research and i have the chance to get the following bikes for 1150€ at local stores.
Conway GRV 8.0:

Lapierre Crosshill 5.0 (2023):
https://99spokes.com/de-DE/bikes/lapierre/2023/crosshill-5.0
Do you guys have any strong opinions or recommendations on those bikes, that might help me with my buying decision or maybe even a completely different recommendation? Pls let me know.
Thanks in advance 🙂
