Well, it looks clean. But it’s a bit of a fashion crime. I’d be very concerned about buying from somebody who built this because a person who would build this bike almost certainly isn’t highly skilled (or they would not have built this bike). So the quality of the build is suspect. But from the photo nothing jumps out at me.

I know nothing of this bike but imma go with no on the yuck factor alone. There is no way that seatpost on inserted to a safe spec for the frame either

The Beluga needs to remain at the bottom of the ocean

Certainly not. Wait for Cues or Microshift Sword to get common and go that route, I honestly don’t think old used gravel bikes are as much a great buy as used road bikes. It’s just that thru axels and hydraulic disks are still pretty new and you really do want them on a gravel bike. That groupset looks really odd and tbh the whole bike has been put together with really weird/wrong choices. Give this one a miss.

If you actually want to be seen on one of those, go ahead. The price is good. Pantyhose is just a few bucks anyway.
