Hi everyone I'd be super grateful for some advice!
I was considering getting the Stevens Gavere as my first gravel bike. Then someone at a bike shop said it's more of cyclocross-gravel bike (I know nothing about cyclocross) and not "a real gravel bike", and maybe not the best option for me. Though he also said that the tire clearance doesn't allow 45mm tires and I checked and actually it does.. so…I don't know now…
What are your thoughts on this bike, including the geometry? Pros and cons?
An alternative would be the Rondo Ruut AL1, but it's more expensive and I can't find it anywhere in my size at the moment (I'm 1,60m quite short).
Again, I'd be extremely thankful for any advice, this search for the right bike has been a total rollercoaster and I've already bought the wrong bike once 😀
