Pictured is my current bike.
Not sure what new bike to get or if I should even upgrade.i am pretty new to cycling, 2 weeks ago I rode my first 50kms and the hills killed me even with only 328m of elevation and I had a sore neck afterwards. I have also been riding gravel a few times in the past week and that is the most fun I’ve had on a bike, just going slow and exploring. I would like to do longer endurance rides(I would love to ride a century) but I also want to be able to explore and go off road Currently I am riding a giant mountain bike that I bought second hand for $100 pretty sure it was Frankensteined together from spare parts.
I’ve found a brand new giant revolt 2 for $1500 aud, is this going to fit my needs, are there any other bikes I should look at. Would you buy a gravel bike to do both, buy a road bike and keep my current bike for gravel or just upgrade current bike
