>>1478312BD bikes always need a full tuneup after assembly. If you aren't comfortable doing that, you'll wind up blowing the couple hundo you save on the bike (their comparison prices are total bullshit) on taking it to LBS to have them dial it in for you, which inevitably is billed as a "pro build", around $200-$250. I think it's better to look for something like a Salsa Journeyman Claris or Marin Nicasio at a LBS.
>>1478794yeah I was about to say that I'll only run triple if friction and 2bh that's a pain in the ass for most people anyway because you have to get used to overshifting then trimming back when you move up a ring
>>1478789who knows, maybe a boogaloo will kick off in the US if blue state govs dig their heels in on the lockdown, so getting a good gravel grinder is a great idea for when you need to take the most epic ride of your life
