Hi I'm looking around for an all road steel bike and came across soma double cross. I'm liking everything about the bike from the geo, tire clearance, weight and mounting options. I'm on a tight budget right now. Should I buy a used 2015 double cross for SGD1k or buy a new 2024 frame at US$800 before shipping and slowly build it up overtime. I'm still new to road/gravel biking with only experience in mountain biking the past few years. The used has some rust on the frame and badge.
Specs were as follows:
Groupset: Shimano 105 groupset with Ultegra rear derailleur D
Wheels: ZTR Grail rims with Shimano XT hubs
Chris King headset
Thomson Elite seatpost
Avid BB7 road calipers
