>>1907059>selling the most basic thing at a markupI don't get this point. The grx groupset seems to be the only one bringing hydraulics and clutches on rear derailleurs on drop bars with no competition at that price point. Their road hydraulic counterpart groupsets are similar in price.
The only thing I'm noticing is that most people who are 'serious' about gravel bikes have enough money to buy them pre assembled and don't want to fuck with building their own.
There are not enough poorfags (like me) who want wide tyres with drops for the market to provide an ultra-budget option, if you don't want to spend at least 1-1.5k then you're going to have to frankenstein your own mullet with some mechanical disc brakes.
