Picked up my first gravel bike yesterday, Checkpoint ALR 5 Gen 2. Went in to check out an ALR 4 Gen 3, and left with this for less money! Had been looking at stuff in the ~$1k-1.5k range (Jamis S4, Marin Nicasio 1, and Diverge 3). The riding position on this is definitely more aggressive than the other options, may end up swapping to a shorter stem, but otherwise thrilled with where I ended up. Looking forward to putting some miles on it!
