After seeing how gravel bikes are just 90’s mtb bikes rebranded, and modern mtb’s ride completely different, I’m leaning towards a gravel bike.
I’ve narrowed down my wants to a steel frame with 2x, I like Kona and Marin’s offerings but I have no clue what groupsets are good/bad. I can find their gear count and specs but not if they’re made of cheese or clunky. Is Shimano Sora any good?
>picrel are specs of Kona Rove $1600
Alternatively Marin sells a steel Nicasio for $900 and I can upgrade the groupset.
