Yo dawgs, I've recently been looking into gravel bikes, budget ~€2000.
I'm 6'6'' (rather short legs, but long torso and arms, think orang utang), 260lbs, so the bike needs to be sturdy and available in X or XX large frame sizes (at least 62cm stack probably).
Must haves:
-100/142 Through axles
- Hydraulic direct mount disc brakes
- BSA threaded BB
- Clearance for min. 700 x 38C, the more the better
- 2 x 11 105 or Ultegra groupset
Nice to haves:
- Integrated cable routing
- Fender mounts
- Classic geometry (non-sloping top tube)
- Sub-compact crankset (48/32 or 44/30)
- Nice color (pls no black)
- If alloy, carbon fork
My current favorite is the 2019 Fuji Jari 1.1 in 61cm (pic related), but it's sold out in Germany. And I'm afraid they will change the color for 2020, that would make me sad.
All ideas appreciated! Thanks in advance.
