Bikes seem pretty similar, both aluminium with carbon forks, except for the Giant having extra gears and hydraulic brakes. Through my cycle to work scheme I could get the Topstone 3 for £664 and the Revolt 1 for £897. As someone new to gravel bikes and road bikes generally would you recommend going for the cheaper one? Do the advantages of the Giant merit the extra cost?
