Hey there! I am planing to buy my first gravel bike as an absolute newbie. Is the Marin Nicasio 2 a good choice for the price? Thanks in advance!

Have you ridden it? If you like the way it fits and feels, go for it! I have a couple of friends who had great luck with an aluminum frame Cannondale top stone. It seems affordable as well. It all boils down to personal preference. Try to get the bike as close to what you want out the door because swapping things out can really add up$$ Good luck!
The new model has wde tire clearence, and looking at specs it’s a bang for the money. Seriously concidering one for myself.
I love mine. My previous bike was a TCR 2022 with Ultegra, and the Marin just fits me way better. It’s comfortable, pretty quick on flats with the right tires, and also way better on forest paths than I thought it would be.
This as far as I know the cheapest gravel bike with hydraulic brakes. Absolutely a steel (pun intended)
