I’m looking for my first adult bike and I’ve settled on two. I don’t know anything about groupsets and all that so essentially I’m asking which one gives me more for my money. I’m 5’2″ on a bad day and have a 26″ inseam. The three bikes I’m stuck between are the Specialized Diverge Elite E5, the Salsa Journeyer Apex 1 650B, and the Surly Grappler. My main use will be mainly paved but a good mix of gravel on my days off, and my budget is under 2k.
