After spending the last three months on my first bike (specialized sirrus), i’d like to switch to gravel – to enjoy the last warm days, and then put it on the trainer for the winter
From what is available in my town in my size, i can choose from two options in my price range:
Bianchi Arcadex – [https://www.bianchi.com/bikes/bikes/gravel-road/arcadex/](https://www.bianchi.com/bikes/bikes/gravel-road/arcadex/) for around 2000eu
Wilier Jareen GRX – [https://www.saldenbikes.com/wilier-jareen-grx-1×11-21.html#](https://www.saldenbikes.com/wilier-jareen-grx-1×11-21.html#) for around 1400eu
Aa i have back issues, and I’m not too fit in general, I’d like something with more relaxed geometry, not to be a shock after sirrus
From the feel i liked Bianchi more, but i saw a lot of mixed reviews from approx 2 years ago.. and not much praise.
Another option is to go second hand, but I’m not too good on mechanical side, and do not want to get some shady deal (or stolen one)
