Looking at this deal: cervelo sram build. Good first gravel bike? I've had numerous road bikes (currentl bike is 17 year old cannondale six13). I mostly mountain bike these days and am looking for a new drop bar bike.
I don’t think 42mm clearance is very versatile unless you know you’re only going to ride high speed gravel and a lot of road. A lot of gravel bikes are 50mm and more now. Which gives you a lot more options in terms of tires. Also, 20% off in this super soft retail bike sales market is NOT a good deal.

$3.2k for a cervelo with electronic shifting is a deal. Anyone who says otherwise is confused.
