Here's my first complete bike build, which is a steel Marin.
I had sold my road bike and decided to try this gravel thing, went for steel, and tried to keep the build cost as low as reasonably possible.
Overall, the whole build was around 1876$
Frameset: Marin Nicasio 2
Wheels: Elite Wheels Gravle SLR
Groupset: 1×11 GRX RX600+RD-RX812 and 11-42 cassette
Tires: Schwalbe G one allround 45mm
So far the ride is awsome 🙂

That colour is 👌
The color and the accents look great with the tan sidewalls. Enjoy.Â
I had a Nicasio a couple of years ago, all steel including the fork. Despite its weight, it’s one of the best bikes I’ve ever had, it was so planted, so comfortable, so confidence inspiring. I named her Tank, she could just plow over anything. That’s a really nice build, I hope you two get loads of fun
