Hi all,
​
Looking for a year round commuter/gravel bike that I can use for long rides on the weekends. I’m in the UK so my commute is approx 3 miles each way and it consists of rough paths, bridleways and asphalt road. I’m looking for a fast gravel bike ideally that can hold up to everyday use. Budget is approximately £2000, ideally with helmet, lock and accessories baked into this price. These are some of the contenders that I’ve already got lined up. Any other recommendations or advice about groupsets to choose, frame material etc would be very helpful.
