Need thoughts on these models or maybe something else under $700.
The used market in my area is a joke, pls don't recommend.

The Talon 4 claims to have tapered fork, disc brakes, 1x drivetrain, dropper post. I say claims because there is a * next to everything and I can't tell for sure. The only thing I don't see* is tubeless ready.

The Poseidon X Ambition seems to be a reputable, all-around great value gravel bike.
I will be commuting on pavement, gravel, dirt and some light park trails.
Just trying to find the best deal to get back into biking. Back in '09-'10 I had a Cannondale that I loved and rode everywhere for $500. Best shape of my life.
