    Gravel Cycling

    I need help on finding a good gravel bike

    Hello 👋
    I am currently looking for a new bike since my old cube mountain bike is getting rustier and before I repair something and ride it another year I wanna switch my bike to a gravel bike.

    I am constantly looking for some and my heart keeps going around those Bianchi Bikes oh my God 🩵 I can't stop comparing other gravel bikes with Bianchi gravel bikes… Everything is just Bianchi at this point… These look so darn good and I really wanna have one, but the price of them are so damn high 🙁
    (That's the arcadex comp, but also the impulse comp is a great one)

    Question is:
    Should I spare up for a that kind of bike from bianchi that costs 2500€ or should I rather get a knockoff and invest less into a bike? (I am a student, but don't know if I have the time or strength to work on school days because I come home at 5pm most pf the time)…

    I would use a gravel bike for these reasons:
    – Traveling faster cuz aerodynamic and lighter bike
    – Traveling easier cuz aerodynamic and lighter bike
    – looks cool and feels so good 🙂
    – always wanted a drop bar

    I would mainly use it for cycling in general as of to school and to use it as a vehicle. But would also use it for fun and just cycle when I am bored and make tours 🙂

    Do you have any suggestions? And what's your current bike you're riding :)? Lemme know

    Thanks for reading ❤️

      I have the Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 and I like it, but I’m sort of wishing I had tried the Priority Apollo Gravel.

      The belt drivetrain on the Apollo is heavier, but since I mainly commute with my bike, it might have served me better than what I got.

      You might like the look of the Bianchi now but you will get tired of it pretty quickly. That’s the thing about Bianchi bikes.

      I could never ride a merida with Bianchi colors.
      It‘s like those Alfa Romeo which look like Ferraris but aren‘t one by far.

      In case you will decide for Bianchi, I have an Arcadex and totally happy with it. If you’re coming from MTB I’d suggest Arcadex because more comfort oriented. The Impulso is race oriented and it could be painful in long range rides, unless you’re used to road bikes geometry. Have you considered a used one? It could please both your eyes and your wallet 😉
