Specialized’s Hero Pro Program pricing for veterans really gave me the push i needed to get my first gravel bike.
Gonna ride as is for a while to get used to it before upgrading anything.

I appreciate any veteran’s programs government or entrepreneurs did.
Wish you a good ride on the new track!
Is that the Elite version? I’ll be picking one up today and I’m super excited!
The first upgrades to make if any would be a seat that YOU find comfortable, quality tires when yours wear out (and or tubeless setup, not as scary as some make it out to be to install), and finally pedals.
I’d highly recommend down the road trying out ‘clipless’ pedals, where your feet (ironically) clip in. It’s pretty ideal for gravel and super ideal for road biking, and even a lot of mountain bikers ride them. Shimano has a basic SPD pedal that you could probably find for cheap and they’re great quality.
Either way focus more on comfort and changing your ride than going for better spec/lighter parts right away. Most of that is all hype anyways, what’s saving 300g for 1000 bucks when you could also just.. eat less candy lol.
Have a blast with your new whip! Looks super clean and nice 🙂
Might want to get some of those spokes looked at!
looks like fun times!
